It was all about “100’s” at St. Francis De Sales Catholic School in Morgantown Monday. It was the 100th day of school, the school is celebrating 100 years of service and students prepared 170 lunches to bring to the Bartlett House.
This was part of a service project the school completed for National Catholic Schools Week.
“To our knowledge, lunch is not served at the Bartlett House,” said Rita Sokos, director of advancement at the school. “We thought this would be something nice for them, so they will have at least two lunches this week.”
Each level at the school had a different job. Even the pre-schoolers folded napkins and washed apples.
“Our second and third graders made Chex Mix for the lunch,” said Sokos. “Our kindergartners and first graders decorated the lunch bags, the fourth and fifth graders made the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and our middle school students, which is comprised of 6th, 7th and 8th graders, are cutting the vegetables.”
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a bag of veggies, an apple, some homemade trail mix and a juice box made up the lunches that will be delivered to the Bartlett House this week.
Sokos said National Catholic Schools Week helps the students and staff remember what’s important.
“It makes us focus a little more on service, not only to the people within our schools, but our communities as well,” said Sokos. “We here at St. Francis have always been know to serve others and not just ourselves.”
The students will be completing other service projects throughout the week.
