EDGE NEWS!
Middle School Students entering 5th through 7th grades next September are invited to take part Edge. We will meet Wednesday nights starting on July 19thand continuing through August 30th from 6:30 to 8 P.M. There will be all kinds of fun games and activities planned and we will end each week with a treat from Carter’s Creamery. Be on the lookout for your special invitation to join coming soon in the mail.
I am happy to report we were approved for a $10,000 grant I applied for through the Diocese. This will help to make our Edge program outstanding for our kids. The Middle School years can be hard so we want to provide a safe place for our kids to come and enjoy friends, food, fun and faith!
After our summer program ends for Edge we will meet each month starting in October. It will be the first Wednesday of every month from 6:30 to 8. We will continue with the awesome games and activities, along with service projects, but will also provide dinner and dessert!

Summer Service Opportunities: High School students who will be Junior and Seniors in September: Edge Summer Leaders: July 19 & 26, August 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Leaders will help plan and execute activities and games with the middle school students. They will also meet with me and other parent coordinators to plan. Due to summer vacations and camps it is understood if students cannot make every date. Please email Lisa at if you are interested. We will have an initial planning meeting somewhere fun once leaders have signed up. Being a peer leader is great for attaining service hours as well as for your college, job, and scholarship applications.
Brady Faith Center: High School Students entering grades 9th – 12th in September Teen Councilors for Brady’s Summer Program: 8 students are needed for each session July 20 & 27, August 3 & 10 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Teens will help plan and execute activities for children who attend Brady Faith’s summer school program. This is a wonderful service opportunity that can be counted for school and confirmation. Most colleges look to see if applicants have volunteered directly to helppeople in need. This opportunity would not only benefit college applications but also scholarships too. I will meet our students at St. James and drive them to and from Brady. I will have lunch for them each week. Please email Lisa at if you are interested!
