Welcome to the Ladies Council!

Our theme for the 2010 - 2011 school year is
Unity and Spirit.

Let us unite together, accomplish our common goals,
and renew and refresh our souls!

Have a great summer!

Recycle Drink Pouches
Ladies Council is participating in a recycling program through Terracycle which will benefit our school. It's similar to the Campbell's labels/box tops program. Save all Capri-Sun, Kool-Aid and Honest Kids drink pouches (not juice boxes - just pouches) which are worth $.02 each to our school. Make sure they are empty and the straws removed (no need to rinse it out).

Bring your collected pouches to our Ladies Council General Meetings each month. Please do not send any pouches through school - they will be thrown away. You will receive one raffle ticket for a minimum of 5 pouches turned in at each LC General Meeting. For more information, contact Lauren Scandurro at 487-5609.

If you would like to assist, please contact Joanna at the Parish Center. There are many, many jobs to be done in preparation for this big weekend!
