1 St. Agnes School Mailbag Newsletter for January 12, 2018 Special Notes from Mrs. Paulsell: DRIVES FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK: We are hosting two drives during Catholic Schools Week later this month. We will be collecting gently used toys for all ages that will be donated to local shelters and organizations that help families. We will also be collecting kitchen equipment and supplies that are in good condition and plan to donate these to organizations that prepare meals or supply kitchen space for families of sick children. The purpose of the drives is to clean out your house for the new year and donate to others who could use it more that you can. Please do not go out and buy new items.
