4.      Service Project - It's getting cold outside and many children in the greater community do not have coats.  For Catholic Schools Week coming up in January, we are collecting gently used or new children's coats for the East Lake Elementary School community in Chattanooga.  Please donate your child's outgrown coat or brand new one this winter to a child in need.  We will be collecting coats until the end of January.  You can send the coats in to the office any time until Catholic Schools Week, and they will be sent to those in need.  Thank you for helping us be Christ to the world!
