Christmas will come early this year at St. Cronan.

This summer, you are invited to participate in a School Adoption Program from June 29/30 – July 27-28.  We invite you to take an ornament from the Christmas tree in the church foyer.  The items listed on each ornament are supplies needed for students and teachers at St. Louis Catholic Academy and St. Cecilia School & Academy.

- St. Cecilia School & Academy is 92% Hispanic and St. Louis Catholic Academy is

    100%  African American

- 100% of the students receive need-based tuition assistance.  Each family is required to

    make a financial investment in their child’s education

-100% of our graduates are accepted into college prep high schools

-99% graduate from high schools compared to 89 % of Missouri students

The adoption process involves – picking an ornament from the tree, purchasing the items listed, and then returning the items in the foyer boxes.  PLEASE TAPE THE ORNAMENT ON THE BAGS WHEN YOU RETURN THEM.

The items are:  #2 pencils,

  markers (thin or thick, various colors),

  lined paper (college rule & wide rule),

  Kleenex,

  expo markers (any color),

  post it notes (any color or size),

 or if you would rather Amazon gift cards.

Christmas in July is held in an effort to encourage our community to reach out and help students and teachers who do not have the extras that other schools enjoy.  You are helping to place smiles on their faces returning to school in August.
