ST. PAUL CAN FOOD DRIVE

The St. Paul can food drive will begin Oct. 1 and will go through November 1.  SPS is competing against the other area Catholic schools to see who “can” bring in the most cans.  Last year our school brought in over 4000 cans.  For fun we are going to compete within our school K-2, 3-5, and 6-8.  Each week the class from each pod with the most cans will receive a treat delivered by a Student Council member.  We are not setting a school goal this year, but will keep track of the total as a pod and as a school on the wall in the front hall. All of the food collected goes to Assumption to help them compete in the Student Hunger Drive.  The cans will be collected and counted in each homeroom by student council members.
