Reason #47 Why I Love St. Pat's

Dear Parents,

The Nursery School children make a special contribution to St. Patrick's Community Service program. On the third Wednesday of each month, they chop vegetables for soup that is distributed by the Grate Patrol, an organization that feeds the homeless of our city. Every month your family will be asked to contribute one or two washed vegetables that will be chopped by the children and added to the soup pot.


A wide variety of vegetables helps make our soup more tasty and nutritious. The children are able to cut, tear, or snap carrot sticks, scallions, cabbage, leafy greens, green or yellow squash, tomatoes, green beans, parsley, and mushrooms. We also need canned chicken broth, beans, rice, herbs, and bullion to give the soup additional flavor.

Our Nursery children look forward to this activity every month. If you would like to help the children prepare the vegetables, you may sign up for an hour on one of these days at Back to School Night.

Thank you for your support of this important project.
