Around Christmas Time, for the past 26 years, DeLaSalle High School has “adopted” several families through Sponsor a Family Minnesota and the Aliveness Project. This year we will be adding gifts for homeless youth through Sharing and Caring Hands and the YMCA Youth Intervention Services. Our “adoptees” have benefited greatly from our generous spirit. Last year the students and staff brought in over $4,000 and we hope to beat that number this year.

We invite students and staff to contribute in 9th and 10th grade Theology Classes and 11th and 12th grade English Classes. Money collection is daily and begins on Monday, November 26 and runs through Friday, November 30. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
