Catholic Schools Week at St. Timothy

Contributed report

St. Timothy celebrated Catholic Schools Week last week with dress up days, fun activities including “winter Olympics,” treats and service projects. Students collected 179 pounds of non-perishable food for the Annandale Food Shelf. They also participated in a Pennies for Pounds contest to see which class could bring in the most pennies for the food shelf.  The pennies were weighed and tallied by the fourth-grade class. Students collected 168 pounds of coins totaling $316.71. The class that had the heaviest weight for pennies was preschool, totaling 58.8 pounds. Second place was fifth grade, bringing in 24.9 pounds; third place was kindergarten, bringing in 24.8 pounds. “Thank you to everyone for donating,” organizers said.
