We are proud to announce that our students, faculty and staff donated a total of 1,824 canned goods to our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive!  The food was donated to BCMW in Breese and St. Vincent De Paul Society Food Pantry in Germantown; the money was donated to House of Manna.  With this year’s collection, the Mater Dei community has collected a total of 23,980 canned goods in thirteen years.  As the class competition winner, the freshman class will enjoy a jeans day.  As the homeroom competition winners, the students in Mrs. Gramann’s homeroom enjoyed a donut and Ski “breakfast.”  We thank our National Honor Society officers and members, National Honor Society moderator Mrs. Deb Foote, and St. Vincent de Paul Society moderator Mrs. KK Schneider for sponsoring this worthy event.
