Judging for the Creative Arts Festival was two weeks ago. We submitted two projects: 1) the Sheep-Goat, which was entered as a grade 3-4 project (the average grade of the participants was 2.5, and because they're a pretty sharp group, I rounded up); and 2 "Sheepish Behavior", a short film written by, and starring, our middle school students. Both projects were given silver ribbons, and received high marks for their creativity. The movie can be found on YouTube. To protect the privacy of our students, the movie can only be accessed by folks who are given the following link: http://youtu.be/MkGMmIXWtN8

With the Blessing of Bishop JOHN, FOCUS North America is teaming up with the Antiochian Women and the Philoptochos Groups to distribute shoes to 39 cities throughout the country. Locally we will be distributing 3000 pairs of shoes to homeless students in the Boston school district twice a year. All shoes are new and are donated from a shoe manufacturer. We need your help in sorting the shoes and helping us raise some funds to pay for shipping of these shoes. To help us sort shoes in July, please contact Kailen Hodge at kailen.hodge@gmail.com or by calling 857- 277-8323. At a meeting of the Antiochian Women it decided to have each parish have a local fundraising event annually. Please earmark your check to Operation Lace Up and forward to the Antiochian Women Treasurer: Mrs. Valerie Torpey Irving (PO Box 1015, Dedham, MA 02027)
