April COVID-19 Updates

April 2020

Learning Center

Families of students attending the Learning Center were contacted about a drive-thru Easter basket give-away including fast food and grocery gift cards on April 6, 2020 from 9 – 11:30 am.  

To encourage play, movement, or exercise activities, outdoor play equipment was purchased through funds received from Felician Services, Inc.  The play equipment including hula hoops, jump ropes, Velcro catch mitts were distributed to the children on Earth Day, April 22, 2020 between 9 and 11:30 AM by Sisters Carol, Johnna and Susanne (who were gloved and masked).  The children and their parents, mostly masked, read information about Earth Day at various stations placed in the parking lot to maintain social distance.  At the last station, they saw a globe with bandages on it to symbolize the sick earth.  At that point, Sister Susanne gave them a bag filled with play equipment and a flyer for a fresh food giveaway sponsored by Catholic Charities.  Sister Johnna gave them a hula hoop and Sister Carol gave parents tickets to win prizes at a silent auction.  In addition, each child received a $20 gift card for Pizza Hut.  This event was sponsored by a grant from Felician Services, Inc.

Food Pantry

Household cleaning products and personal hygiene items were purchased for distribution as needed.  Grab ‘n Go food bags were distributed April 14 along with a $10 IGA gift card.  Bi-Lo gift cards worth $25 were distributed April 21.  Additional food was ordered for food bags distributed on April 28.
