SSPJ Students Know How to Give!
SSPJ Advent Project
This year, the SSPJ Student Council would like our school to take part
in a very special Advent project. We will raise money to purchase animals from Heifer International. These animals will be sent to
impoverished families hoping to provide a better life for their children. Heifer, an extremely reliable company in existence since
1944, has worked directly with millions of families from more than 125 countries, including the United States. Heifer not only sends
the animal, but also trains the family on the care and potential of the gift. This "pass-on animals and training" system helps the
impoverished families feed themselves, earn an income and benefit the environment.
If you would like to participate, please complete the form below and return to school addressed to the attention of Student Council.
Our deadline is December 19, and the total of our donations will be announced during our School Advent Service. Any donation you
can give would be greatly appreciated by the families who will no longer go hungry.
GOALS:
There are various goals our school can achieve for animals and training (dependant on the amount we raise):
Please fill out and return the donation form from your packet to school to the attention of the Student Council (you may choose to
donate anonymously). Deadline is December
19, and the total amount collected will be announced to the students during our Advent Service. Thank you for your generosity!
The Harlem Wizards are coming!
