February is Have-A-Heart
Month for Tuition Assistance
Each year our Annunciation
School Advisory Committee and
PTO work together to raise
money for our Tuition Assistance program.
The money raised enables many families to
provide a quality Catholic education for their
children and enables our school community to
enjoy the fruits of a student body rich in socioeconomic diversity. We appreciate the
support Annunciation parishioners have shown
in the past and ask you once again to open
your hearts to this very important gifting
opportunity. Any amount you can share will
be gratefully accepted and appreciated.
One-hundred-one (102)
parcels containing canned vegetables,
soup, rice, beans, pasta, cereal,
oatmeal and a big variety of other
nutritious foods. Also included in this
month's food drive were 14 cases/multi
-paks of vegetables, soup, and canned
meats. Special thanks to those
persons who drop off their food
donation at the Church office before
going out of town.
Call the school office at 444-4000 for more
detailed information. Donation envelopes are
available at the doors of the church. Thank
you for your kind consideration. Itʼs a
wonderful gift!
