Personal Care Drive
From February 6-10 the Leadership Club students are asking the school to “Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve” and participate in our Personal Care Drive. With the number of homeless people and families in need growing within our community, we at OLM are striving to help out in a very small way.

The OLM Leadership club will be collecting personal care items to donate to local food banks within our community. Your help is greatly appreciated. Donations can be brought to the classrooms. Items being collected are as follows:

  • Primary Grades (K-3)
    • Dental care – toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss, mouthwash
    • Baby items – Diapers, baby food
  • Intermediate Grades (4-7):
    • Men’s care – shaving cream, razors, deodorant shampoo, conditioner, soap
    • Women’s care – women’s hygiene products, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, soap

Let’s come together as a religious community and Wear Our Hearts on Our Sleeves for those in need.
