2nd Grade Stewardship
Posted by spadmin
(April 26, 2023) — The second grade classrooms are partnering with the Animal Care Club at Peoria Notre Dame High School and Foster Pet Outreach for a service project. Representatives from both organizations came to talk to the kids (along with a few furry friends), to educate them on their mission and needs.
Students will be making cards in the classrooms that will be sent home with families who rescue an animal from Foster Pet Outreach. As part of the project, classes also talked about raising money and donating supplies to help. They discussed acts of service, and reminded students that they should be willing to complete a task(s) at home to earn the money that they would like to donate to the animals.
If you would like to support the 2nd grade service project, they will be accepting
donations at school from May 1 – May 12. Some items that are always needed are: dog and cat food (dry and canned), dog and cat treats, fleece and wool blankets, cat litter, collars, leashes, gently used wire kennels and toys. In addition to sending supplies or cash donations to school, there are many other ways to make a contribution:
- Paypal
- Venmo (@Foster-PetOutreach).
- Wish Lists: Amazon Wish List or Chewy Wish List
Thank you for supporting our service project for this very worthy organization!
“All things of creation are children of the Father and thus brothers of man. God wants us to help animals if they need help. Every creature in distress has the same right to be protected.”
– St. Francis of Assisi
Tigers are Innovators

(Apr 5, 2023) A couple of SPS alums are featured in the April 2023 Peoria Magazine issue. Caroline Clark LaHood (2001) & Jonathon Braun (2011) are both innovators! The article “The Sky-Eye Liner is the Limit” (page 24) is about the company Caroline is building with her husband John and brother-in-law, Richard. Then turn to “Democracy Needs a Shot in the Arm” (page 86) to learn about the voting app Jonathon developed while pursuing his degree at Bradley.
