"Thank you for giving back to YOUR community! You could feel the energy as more than thirty 7th & 8th graders from St. Dominic School, their teachers, parent volunteers, and CERB members, walked the streets in Eagle Rock with their brooms, rakes and trash bags. Their day began with fresh fruit, desserts, juice, water, and coffee provided by Marketing Team members: Margarita Red-Horse, Cheryl Santoro, Tera Perez, Noemi Garcia. Everyone worked hard and did a great job!"

Food for Family Thought
Tell your child about your favorite apostle, holy person, or hero from the Bible. Let your child know what traits you admire in that person.
If you could carve four new faces into the side of Mt. Rushmore, whose faces would they be? Why do you believe your choices deserve such a place of honor?
