O’Connell, This week we will all have the chance to spend Thanksgiving eating turkey and all the trimmings. There are people out there who won't have any food to put on the table unless YOU help. Support Mr. Crivella and Mother Teresa's nuns, the Missionaries of Charity, as they provide Thanksgiving food to 300 families. Give money to the Turkey Blitz. You can give money to your religion teacher or Mr. Crivella. Count your blessings this week, and remember that 300 families are counting on you!
