News - There was a convoy of five vehicles travelling from Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville to St. Rose of Lima Catholic School at Bayshore on Thursday morning, Dec. 12. It really was more like Santa’s sleigh than a string of five vehicles because the convoy was carrying 25 Christmas hampers assembled and wrapped up by each of the classes at Guardian Angels to St. Rose of Lima School where the Christmas hampers were going to be distributed that very day. It is all part of a sister school program involving the two schools, Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville and St. Rose of Lima Catholic School at Bayshore. This program links a school with a high number of needy families with a school that is able to share some of its good fortune. Students at Guardian Angels Catholic School collected gifts and donations of money for food vouchers in this Christmas hamper program. The gifts were all wrapped up in Christmas wrapping paper and were ready in the school lobby when the five vehicles from St. Rose of Lima School arrived at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12, ready to pick up the gift hampers and transport them to St. Rose of Lima School where the gifts and food vouchers will go a long way in helping needy families through the Christmas season. For students at Guardian Angels Catholic School, this Christmas hamper program is one way that they can show the true spirit of giving in the season of Advent leading up to Christmas. R0012475737
