The Our Lady of Peace Parish Social Ministry & the school’s Student Council sponsored a collection for “Project Renewal”-a ministry that serves the homeless of Manhattan.
The project was named “Trees of Hope”. The students and faculty were asked to donate: new white socks for men & women, cotton boxer shorts, new gloves & knit hats, Stim-u-dent mint floss plaque remover and sugar free throat lozenges.
The Student Council collected and counted the items on a daily basis. The school collected over 1,050 items! These items will be distributed by medical personnel, from Project Renewal, via a Medic Bus which covers the streets of the city.
The students held a prayer service on Friday, January 6, 2012, to give thanks to everyone who participated and to bless the donated items.
We would like to give a BIG THANK YOU to EVERYONE!!!
You ALL made this project a HUGE SUCCESS!
Pictured are: Dave Woods from Project Renewal, Sr. Barbara Faber from OLP Parish Social Ministry, The OLP Student Council & and representatives from each class.
THANK YOU FOR SENDING YOUR BOX TOPS AND CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS.
WE JUST RECEIVED A CHECK IN THE AMOUNT OF $717.40 FROM BOX TOPS FOR
EDUCATION. PLEASE KEEP CUTTING THEM AND SENDING THEM IN.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT!!!
This year, for their annual Service Project, the Kindergarten and First Graders at Our Lady of Peace School, Lynbrook, chose to honor the Veterans wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Each child made a four season "THANK YOU" poster. As a group, the children donated $250.00 to purchase a guitar for a wounded Vet through the music therapy program provided by the Musicorps organization. Learning to play a musical instrument assists the soldier to overcome pain, restore self-confidence and enjoy personal relaxation.
HAPPY NEWS for Our Lady of Peace Parents!!
