Drop Off Procedure
For the 2014/15 school year, new Fire Lane – No Parking signs have
been posted in front of the school. After consulting with fire and police
personnel, it was decided to follow this course of action for safety
concerns. Parents may stop their vehicles and drop children off, but they
are not to exit the vehicle to bring them into school. Pre-kindergarten
and Kindergarten students will enter through the gymnasium where they
will be escorted to their classrooms by their teachers or aides. Please,
follow these directions.
Community Aid Clothing Bin
We are pleased to inform you that we now have a Community Aid
Clothing Collection Bin here at Lourdes. It is located to the far right as
you enter the parking lot. Community Aid is a faith-based non-profit
registered charity with the primary purpose of raising funds for
distribution to non-profit charitable organizations. We will be paid by
the pound for everything we collect here at Lourdes. You may bring the
following items: clothing, shoes, blankets, bedding, linens, accessories
(belts, scarves, hats),and draperies. They do not want any household
"hard" items such as lamps or coffee makers. Just soft items, shoes, and
accessories. They sell the donated clothing in their thrift stores located
on the strip in Selinsgrove (the old Value City building) and
Mechanicsburg. All items will be sold at the most affordable price to
allow our neighbors a place where they can shop for their families. We
will also be receiving some clothing vouchers after the first quarter to
issue to those who need a "helping hand." If you are in need, please let
us know. The bins will be serviced regularly as we do not want them to
get overloaded. Start cleaning out your closets and dropping off your
unwanted goods as soon as possible. Thank you for your support of
Lourdes Regional School!
Sincerely,
Jacqueline O. Kerris
