PCJH brought door decorating back with style!
PCJH Student Council’s elves have been busy! With the help of the student body, they shipped off 19 boxes to Kuwait and also prepared Naughty and Nice bags for this week.
During lunch this week, students may purchase a Naughty or Nice bag for $1 and receive either a prize or some “coal.” Proceeds will help cover the over $500 in postage costs to ship the boxes overseas.
On Thursday, Student Council members will also be spreading holiday cheer by caroling and delivering Christmas cards at Fairview Haven.
