Our Senior Student Leaders felt called to do more to overcome the suffering of so many lives. Believing that love can conquer evil, they invited every student and staff member to pledge to perform at least 5 good deeds, 911 Acts of Compassionate Action. The Freshmen students were most enthusiastic about spreading the Lord's kindness.
With every act of kindness, they gave Father Mychal Judge's prayer card. Father Mychal Judge was the Franciscan Chaplain to the New York City Firefighters. He laid down his life in an effort to save another life at the Twin Towers ten years ago. As a remembrance of our pledge, the students built a Memorial Tower of Kindness:EXTRA! EXTRA!

The school's Student Council sponsored a Thanksgiving Food Drive and collected over 1500 cans and boxes of dry goods to feed those who have fallen on hard times.
Operation Christmas Box, Soles for Souls, Christmas Giving Tree, Crazy hats for Cancer, donations for Domestic Violence, Adopt-a-school in the Ukraine to educate against human trafficking, Singing for the elderly in nursing homes, and tutoring young children are only a few of the acts of kindnesses our students are performing to help make our world a better place.
