NEWS
SAVE THE DATE: Our semi-annual Blood Drive will be on Wednesday, May 8th from 3:00 – 7:00 p.m. in the school cafeteria. In order for this to be a successful drive we need at least 15 donations. As summer approaches the need for blood donation increases. Please prayerfully consider giving the gift of life and helping us reach our goal. REMEMBER When you give blood you give someone another chance to ride a bike, go out to eat, play with their child, attend church, and to live!!
Schedule your donation at: https://donate.indiana.versiti.org/donor/schedules/zip
Please contact Peggy Clegg at pclegg@littleflowerparish.org or 317- 357-8352 if you have any questions.
Hello Little Flower Families,
Your help is needed to make the Silent Auction at Summerfest 2024 a great success. As you may already know, Summerfest is the school and parish's largest fundraiser of the year. These baskets are a fun way for the students to participate.
Each grade level in the school is being asked to sponsor themed baskets for the auction. Below you will find suggested basket items for the theme assigned to your child(ren)’s grade. In lieu of purchasing items, families may also make a cash contribution of $5.00 or more that would be used to purchase an item or items for the baskets. All children participating will receive an out-of-uniform pass. PLEASE RETURN YOUR DONATION TO THE SCHOOL OFFICE BY May 16th.
Attached is a summary of all the donation options or you may click on your grade's link below to view the items online.
You can also help in the following ways!
· Do you have any new household appliances, electronics, handmade items or other merchandise that you may have purchased or received as a gift but do not need? If they have a retail value in excess in $25.00 consider donating them for our silent auction!
· Do you own or manage your own business? Do you offer goods or services that people would be willing to bid on at the silent auction? Consider a donation of your own goods or services! Gift certificates are very appropriate!
· Does your employer offer goods or services that would make good items for the auction? Please consider approaching your employer for a donation to Little Flower Parish and our silent auction. Again, gift certificates will work well.
We greatly appreciate your past generosity and look forward to making this year's class baskets the best yet!
