Fundraiser for Puerto Rico

December 5, 2017 | Community Service

After the recent devastation in Puerto Rico, the Community Service Council decided to take an active position in support for the people there. The month of October served as an opportunity for each individual student to give back. Council members went from class to class and collected monetary donations which are being used to provide food, water, and other essentials for the people of Puerto Rico. Furthermore, all the money collected from the School’s Thursday pizza sales is being donated as well. All in all, the Community Service Council was able to collect over 1100 dollars in support of Puerto Rican relief. Thank you to all students and faculty for your generosity!

Thy Kingdom Come

The more I reflect on the petitions of the Our Father, the more I’m convinced that I have no idea what I’m praying when I mumble those words multiple times every day.

The current object of my loving mystification is “Thy kingdom come.” In an effort to be slightly less intimidated by this vast and marvelous petition, I will arrange my musings as responses to the time-honored journalistic questions.
