Wednesday, January 10th, is our 5th 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗨𝗔𝗟 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔 𝗖𝗔𝗨𝗦𝗘 for the year. This Casual for a Cause funds a Scholarship for a current 8th grade Saint Olaf student that will attend a Utah Catholic High School next year. This scholarship has made continuing in Catholic Education feasible for the last three recipients and has meant the world to their families!

For $3, students may wear non-uniform clothes. You may donate via cash or Paypal at the “Giving” tab on our website. Please keep in mind that Paypal charges a fee so if you'd like your full donation to go to our Cause, you may want to add some to cover the fee.

Join the Student Ambassadors for pizza in the Judge cafeteria and then head to the gymnasium to watch a home game. Go Bulldogs!

Please consider earlier donations to the project, "Home in a Bag" (click heading for list of needed items), as well as support the cause on Wednesday, December 13.
Families are also invited to participate in making the "Home in a Bag", Friday evening, December 1 @ 6 PM. Click heading for more details.

As part of our observance of Veterans Day, our Casual For A Cause in November is for the Fisher House in Salt Lake City. For a $3 donation students may wear free dress on Wednesday, November 8th.

Opened in 2012, The Fisher House provides, free of charge, a place for families to stay as military loved ones receive necessary procedures and treatment at the VA Medical Center. The home has 20 suites available with private bedrooms/baths and is a much needed local resource as families travel long distances, often from rural communities, to receive care at the VA. The school will once again this year offer a service opportunity for students and parents to visit with and serve a meal to the families staying at the home. Funds raised will be used to purchase CostCo gift cards and go towards the provided meal. Gift cards help provide meals and snacks as well as toiletries to stock the house.

FRIDAY, October 27, 5 PM

Dust off those costumes and get ready for another fun filled evening on the Saint Olaf Campus for our Annual Car Show and Halloween Carnival.
