Do you know of a school family that could use a little "sunshine"?
At St. Isidore School we have a group of parent volunteers called the “Sunshine Committee”. Our purpose is to coordinate support for families in need. The type of support varies on the circumstance -- from an illness or death in the family to welcoming a new baby. In any case, we offer to provide a little “sunshine” for the family by providing meals, transportation, or simply prayers - whatever the family would find most helpful. In order to help others, our group relies on the support of all school families because, in essence, we are all part of the St. Isidore “Sunshine Committee”.
 
Sunshine Contacts:
If you are in need of assistance or know someone in our school community who is, please contact Cindy O’Keeffe. She will coordinate with the appropriate class representative(s) to determine how we can best help. The class representative(s) will then initiate the process of providing assistance. For example, they may coordinate volunteers to deliver meals to a family with a newborn.
