The classroom pigs are officially OPEN for business and HUNGRY! "Feed the Pig" opens up MONDAY at Holy Family! Classroom pigs will be available on the same weblink as the Silent Auction items where you can conveniently make donations to any classroom pig right on your phones and devices next weekend (Saturday and Chili Supper Sunday). You can also send donations with your student this week, January 23-27, to put in their classroom pig! Students will earn some exciting incentives for their class as their pigs get fed $$. See all of the incentives on the flyer. There's even an office pig for faculty & staff members to earn some incentives of their own! As the office pig is fed, those funds are all being put toward purchasing a new walky-talky for the school Safety Team. Thank you for your support in this fun way to our school!
