Charity and donations for the holiday

By Theolia Childs, Senior

This was the season for sharing and giving to families who were not able afford a good warm-cooked meal. Messmer Catholic Schools held the House of Peace drive for the last four years in which students and faculty help with.

As campus minister, Mr. Hauser put boxes together as he began to notice that students were hardly participating. That is when competition began to increase for the students since the winning class of the food drive would win a jeans day pass.

“I was worried at first, but then I was amazed on how students were doing with donations,” said Hauser.

When it was finished, Messmer donated 228 boxes and collected over 5,000 items.

For the most part students and faculty had a fun and competitive experience. The class of 2011 won a free Jeans Day followed by 2nd place seniors, 3rd place sophomores, and finally the junior class.
