DEUTERONOMY 16:17 The act of giving selflessly is taught repeatedly in scriptures. Our students banded together on many occasions these past few months to provide opportunities to other families, help our community through volunteering and donations and share this spirit with others. It is amazing to see the effect education, hard work and discipline has on over 1,400 children. Often, the students took it upon themselves to coordinate and advocate for helping those in need. Some examples of this include: volunteering at St. Ben’s Meal Program, collecting used clothing, collecting money to buy household items for a student’s family whose house burnt down, food drives for the House of Peace, working at Casa Maria, blood drives, Peace Projects, Recycling initiatives and raising money for Cancer awareness just to name a few. Volunteers give of their time regularly with tutoring for High School, Prep and St. Rose & St. Leo students. These volunteers are not alumni and their sons and daughters didn’t attend Messmer. They volunteer their time because it helps their community. When the aforementioned student’s house burnt down, the volunteers bought Christmas presents for them. “Every child deserves to open a present on Christmas Day,” a volunteer said. God bless them for making this wish come true. Saturday School gets recent graduates involved by having them tutor current students. This academic support allows students to receive the help they need to succeed at Messmer. It also allows graduates to “give back” their time and talents. Of course, our parents, teachers and staff give endlessly in their time and dedication. Without them, our students would not succeed in learning the valuable academic, social and lessons of faith inherent in a Messmer education. Our thanks go to you—our friends, our benefactors and our alumni for supporting this valuable ministry. Messmer Catholic Schools have truly reflected the theme of Catholic Schools Week – Celebrate Service.
