Eighth-grade students at St. Joseph Catholic School set up for the annual homeless Thanksgiving dinner that served approximately 400 homeless and disadvantaged persons last Sunday. In the days before the event, the children collected toiletries, which they packaged to give to their dinner guests. The younger classes made placemats and decorations for the dinner. Older students also welcomed guests and cleaned up after the meal. The students, who recently helped survivors of Hurricane Katrina, said they feel honored to aid people in their own community. Here, eighth-grader Kevin Mould and seventh-grader Andrew Barton help set up for dinner in the parish hall.
