Adopt-A-Family

Our students are asked to “Do Something Great”. As Christians, we achieve greatness by sacrifice: by putting what we have and who we are at the service of others. We ask that each student bring an item that will be helpful to prepare Thanksgiving and Christmas gift and food boxes.

Last year we at St. Dominic School were able to load a truck full of boxes for families living on Skid Row. For twenty years, the students of our Catholic Schools have done something great. They have put themselves at the service of these struggling families and brought the Light of Christ and the Magic of Christmas to their doorsteps.
 
Parent/Teacher Conferences

Students will be given a parent/teacher conference sign-up form for Thursday, December 2 and Friday, December 3. Please return this form ASAP.
