• Next week, the Key Club will host a sock drive to benefit Happy Feet, a local charity in New Orleans that helps ensure that our city's people who are experiencing homelessness have socks year-round to keep their feet dry and protected. Please consider contributing to this great cause by bringing in new or gently used socks of any size from Tuesday, January 20th, to Friday, January 23rd. To bring attention to the fact that everyone needs socks, we will have a silly sock day on Thursday, January 22nd. Students may wear any appropriate, silly socks to school with their regular school uniform. To maximize the motivation to donate, the drive will be a friendly grade-level competition. The winning grade level will have a tennis shoe day on Wednesday, January 28th. Additionally, the Brother Martin Key Club is in a friendly competition with Mount Carmel’s Key Club to see which club can collect the most socks! Donation boxes (labeled separately for each grade level) will be located under the spiral staircase near the Auditorium. Key Clubbers will hand-deliver the socks to Ozanam Inn on Saturday, January 24th. All donations are appreciated.

Thank you, that is all!
