Mother Teresa Week. Specific items such as canned foods, clothing, bedding, toiletries, etc. are collected daily for one week and delivered to the Sisters of Charity in Miami. Each homeroom class adopts a needy family. During Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter the students in the class send gift baskets to their adopted family. Pennies from heaven.
Students collect pennies throughout the year.
The pennies are presented at a special outdoor mass and donated to the local Respect Life Organization. Students prepare life-size animal paintings. The paintings are photographed and displayed on t-shirts that are then sold by the students. The monies raised are donated to a specific environmental issue. Through the HELP Program, Nativity School students are given the opportunity to help correct the injustices in our society, especially poverty, abortion, and environmental issues.
