"Jeepers Creepers"- St. Francis is
Collecting
Old
Peepers!
Do you have any unused
eyeglasses or sunglasses around the house? If so,
donate your old eyeglasses and sunglasses to a
good cause. This year St.Francis High School will
again collect old glasses for "Sight Night".
Volunteers will then repair and classify the
collected eyeglasses by prescription and hand
deliver them to people in developing countries who
need eyeglasses but cannot afford them.
Also, we are again inviting St.
Francis students to collect old eyeglasses in
their neighborhoods on Halloween while they are
"trick-or-treating". Please talk with your child
about this opportunity to collect more than just
candy this Halloween. Free Trick-or Treat
collection kits and a drop-off box for old glasses
will be available in the Guidance & Counseling
Department. For more info, please contact Mrs.
Rupp at extension 104. Please drop off any
eyeglasses by the end of
October. |
