The Student Council is hosting a Personal Care Item Drive for our St. Cletus Food Pantry starting November 7th. Please consider supporting this drive to help those in need. We will be collecting Personal Care Items such as soap, shampoos, conditioners, deodorant, products, toothpaste, tooth brushes, toilet paper and the like. Look for bins in Morrissey Hall and at the hallway leading to Jr. High.
