During Catholic Schools Week, our SKD community came together for a Canned Food Drive to support those in need. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our families, we collected 879 cans!

All donations will be given to the Archdiocesan Nutritional Development Services, helping provide meals and nourishment to individuals and families throughout our community.

A special thank you to our Student Council members who visited each classroom to collect and carefully count every can. We are so proud of their leadership and service.

When we say we β€œdo all things in love,” this is exactly what it looks like in action. πŸ’™
