During Lent (from now until Thursday, April 18, 2019) The National Junior Honor Society will be organizing the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) Rice Bowl fundraiser for grades 6 – 12.  CRS Rice Bowl is a faith-in-action program that offers each of us to engage, on a daily basis, with the Spiritual Pillars of Lent: prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  NJHS members will distribute a “rice bowl” to every classroom, grades 6-12.  Donations of spare change or better yet, change given in honor of those in our world who suffer and need our support, can be placed in the little box. 

 

Please send your child/children with spare change to donate to the fundraiser from now until April 18th.
