We are teaming up with the Hume Brothers, Tacoma realtors, on a school supply drive for Stanley Elementary students. Many of us grew up in the St. Rita neighborhood and attended Stanley. If you are able, you can bring supplies to Saturday prayer service and I will be sure to get them to the Hume brothers. They are asking for all supplies by August.2nd. Here is more info:
This is an opportunity to pitch in. Even a box of crayons or pencils can make a big difference! Many Stanley families struggle to make ends meet and cannot afford school supplies. Let’s make sure every student at Stanley starts the school year with the tools they need to succeed and grow — list includes
crayons, markers, Ticonderoga #2 pencils, colored pencils notebooks, scissors, glue sticks, hand sanitizer, white printer paper, folders with pockets, composition notebooks, pencil case/pouch, highlighters, dry erase markers.
Bring supplies to St. Rita prayer Saturday by August 2nd. Thank you!
St, Rita, Pray for Us
Fr. Sacco, Pray for Us
Fr. Baffaro, Pray for Us
God Bless,
