We have collected just under $61,000. In order to receive Holy Thursday off from school, we must receive $28,300 in the next two days! All students... please send in any money you have received in pledges to the SCA room immediately! Every dollar helps! Everyone, and we mean everyone, needs to get out there and collect those pledges in order to meet this goal. Having Holy Thursday off is a blessing... there is no guarantee that this will happen unless each of us brings in the pledged money. Thank you!
