On Wednesday, January 23, 2019, the Holocaust Remembrance Education Program is returning to Saint Ann School. Members of the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A., Post 697 will be speaking to students in 8th grade at Saint Ann School. The program offers an interactive age-appropriate presentation of the Nazi Holocaust, which ties in with the 8th-grade Social Study curriculum of Adolf Hitler’s initiative in Nazi Germany and Europe during World War II. Volunteers from the Jewish War Veterans recall their experiences and offer an audio/video presentation to supplement their talk. It is a face to face experience that teaches students of diversity, tolerance, and bullying.

This year for Catholic School Week’s service project, we continue to support tribal schools in the Philippines. These two tribal schools are in the villages called Kitorok and Ilian, deep into the mountain range of Santa Maria, Davao del Sur among the Tagakaolo tribal people, two hours by car from the nearest town. For the past few years, we have been donating school supplies and based on their current needs, we are including toothbrushes/toothpaste this year to further promote oral hygiene among the school kids and help prevent diseases or illnesses caused by improper oral care. All of our donations travel thousands of miles across the world to reach hundreds of tribal school students. We are very thankful to our SAS community for their constant generous support!
