SRLA Christmas Gift Giving Program!
Dear SRLA Families and Faculty,
A wonderful tradition at St. Rose of Lima Academy is our Christmas Gift Giving Program! Through this program we make sure that there is at least one present under the tree for the children of St. Rose of Lima Church in Newark and the seniors and families of St. Joseph’s Social Service Center in Elizabeth. Please consider helping these children, families and seniors during the Christmas holidays. There are three ways to participate in the program:
(1) Buy gifts for children.
~ If you would like to buy a gift, check off the appropriate box on the signup genius and indicate how many gifts you would like to buy. You will be provided with the name, age, and gender of a recipient in mid-November. Please wrap the gifts and bring them to school by Monday, December 4th. Gifts can be dropped off between November 27th through December 4th (Please budget $35-50 per gift. We ask families to buy a warm piece of clothing and a toy for each child). Drop off details will be provided.
(2) Send in a monetary donation.
~ If you are unable to shop this year, our "Holiday Shopper Committee" can shop for you. Your donations will be used to buy toys, coats, scarves and mittens to name a few of the requests we often receive from the children! Click “HERE“ to make donations as soon as possible.

(3) Volunteer to be a "shopper."
~ If you would like to be a "volunteer shopper," please check off the appropriate box. This job entails shopping for 3-5 gifts with the donated money. You will be provided with a very specific wish list and you will be reimbursed. Last year we did not need shoppers, but we may this year!
Thank you in advance for your support for this worthy project! We encourage all families to involve their children in the shopping and wrapping of these gifts. This program is a wonderful way to teach children the importance of helping others!
