Seats and Feet Drive

Over the last two weeks, the Home & School Association invited OLS families to participate in a drive to support families who lost everything during the recent floods in Louisiana. Our students brought in bag after bag of new socks, new underwear, and new shoes to help provide some basics for students at another Catholic school: St. Thomas More in Baton Rouge.

A table overflowing with donations from our families.

While we had hoped we could send something to these families in need, we were absolutely floored by the tremendous response! OLS proves once again that our community's generosity knows no limit. By the numbers, we collected:

  • 26 pairs of shoes
  • 445 pairs of underwear
  • 390 pairs of socks
  • 8 undershirts
  • 45 letters from our students to theirs
We filled 9 boxes and shipped them out last week. Thank you for your support and concern for the families at St. Thomas More!
