Her family is facing a significant challenge. Over the holiday season, her husband Kevin will undergo open-heart surgery to repair or, if necessary, replace his mitral valve. It’s a daunting medical journey, and in times like these, even small gestures of support can matter greatly. A Meal Train has been organized to help ease the load during Kevin’s surgery and recovery. For those who are able and wish to participate, this is a simple but meaningful way to show our care. Thank you for keeping Libby, Kevin, and their family in your thoughts during the weeks ahead.

Each year, BVM families help make the season brighter by donating cookies for our annual K5 Winter Concert and for gift packages for our amazing bus drivers. This longtime winter tradition is one we hope to continue with your support! We invite families to contribute nut-free cookies, homemade or store-bought. Drop off cookies in the lower campus office anytime between Wednesday, 12/17 through Friday morning, 12/19.

Bay View Community Center Food Drive organized by students in Ms. Emma’s Class –  Ira Brhely, Allison Fisher, and Ben Keto 

We, Ira Brhely, Allison Fischer, and Ben Keto, are setting up donations to the Bay View Community Center. We chose this topic to do a good deed in the world. No matter what happens, there’s still good in this world. Everyone deserves food, water and love but not a lot of people have all that. We have multiple bins around the school, so drop by and donate if you can. Everyone knows that poverty, like sickness, can not be eradicated, but we can help stop it in our community, little by little. Drive goes from December 1st to January 9th

WE NEED:

Jam/jelly

Cereal

Pasta and pasta sauce

Mac and cheese

Canned chicken or tuna

Individually wrapped, single serving snacks

Toilet paper

Dish soap/laundry detergent

Menstrual care items like tampons

Please Support Us.

Thank you for helping our students make a meaningful impact in our community!
