A BIG thanks!

Thank you to all the parents who helped with the concert raffles, concert bake sale and the bring and buy sale.  All were successful and could not have happened without our volunteers.

Thank you also to the students who helped sell at the parent teacher interviews and the Advent concert.  Nice to see our students wanting to help out.

Christmas Spirit Elves

Each Year at Holy Redeemer our families get together to collect items for a worthy cause at Christmas time. Last Year we had such success that we will again be teaming up with A Safe Place in Sherwood Park. A Safe Place is a local Sherwood Park women and children's shelter. They offer housing to women and children who are victims of domestic violence. Each year they help over 300 hundred women and over 400 of their children at the shelter.

 They have asked us if we would collect new face cloths and towels or new bed sheets in any size. The price and colour don’t matter so look for the best deal. These items are used in care packages of essential items that the women receive when they are ready to leave the shelter. Together we can make a difference in our community by bringing in one of these items from now untill Monday, December 14th.

Reminder Hot Lunch Orders Due Tomorrow!
