Students from St. Edith School enthusiastically gathering supplies to support their peers at Most Holy Trinity Academy during Catholic Schools Week.
St. Edith School in Livonia has launched a heartwarming supply drive during Catholic Schools Week, supporting Most Holy Trinity Academy in Detroit. This initiative includes gathering essential school supplies and even treating teachers to sweet treats. The project, led by Principal Ruth Scaramucci, aims to foster community ties and demonstrate a spirit of cooperation among Catholic schools. St. Edith parents have enthusiastically participated, showing how service can unite schools and build camaraderie among students.
In Livonia, a heartwarming effort is making waves as St. Edith School rolled up its sleeves to celebrate Catholic Schools Week in an incredibly generous way. This week of recognition, often filled with fun activities and community engagement, took on an even brighter tone as St. Edith initiated a supply drive aimed at helping fellow students at Most Holy Trinity Academy in Detroit.
The drive at St. Edith wasn’t just about collecting basic school supplies. Oh no, it included everything from new and gently used uniform shirts and pants to sweet treats for the teachers at Most Holy Trinity. The idea behind this drive was to build stronger ties between the schools and show that even though they are in different cities, they can still unite as one big Catholic school family.
Brought to life by the school’s principal, Ruth Scaramucci, the project aimed to create a bridge between St. Edith and Most Holy Trinity. Ruth set out to learn precisely what supplies were needed for the current school year, making sure the items gathered were not just random bits but exactly what their city counterparts required. She reached out to Karina Lepkowski, the principal of Most Holy Trinity Academy, who was more than thrilled at the prospect of such support.
The timing of this supply drive couldn’t have been better, as it arrived right when students typically run low on their school supplies halfway through the year. Lepkowski shared how her students often find it difficult to keep their materials stocked due to various challenges, so she was exceptionally grateful for the outpouring of support from a suburban school.
At St. Edith, parents jumped in with enthusiasm. Knowing that their donations would aid another Catholic school made them feel even more motivated to contribute. This spirit of giving aligns perfectly with the school’s broader mission of service, which extends well beyond just one week of events.
This supply drive not only aimed to meet immediate needs but also fostered a sense of camaraderie between the students at both schools. The children from St. Edith actively engaged in the project by crafting heartfelt cards and asking about the experiences of their peers at Most Holy Trinity. Initiatives like this build community and illustrate what it truly means to be part of a faith-based educational environment.
As the students celebrated Catholic Schools Week, they enjoyed various fun activities, including an Academic Olympics, “Dress Like a Teacher” Day, and a delightful ice cream social. Emphasizing the core pillars of Catholic education—faith, service, and academics—this week was not just about having fun but also reflecting on how service to others should be interwoven into the students’ lives.
Ruth Scaramucci expressed a strong hope that the relationships forged through this initiative would last well beyond just this project. There’s a shared identity in Christ that connects the schools, and she envisions ongoing collaboration that can inspire even more acts of kindness in the future.
The Archdiocese of Detroit also encourages community involvement during Catholic Schools Week. A survey is available for feedback, and everyone’s input is vital as these schools continue their important mission of education fused with charity.
So, hats off to the fantastic families, students, and staff at St. Edith School for initiating such a thoughtful and impactful supply drive! It’s a reminder that when we come together in community, we can achieve wonderful things.
