Saint Mary Magdalen helps those in need.

Saint Mary Magdalen Catholic School holds Mission Carnival to help Bolivian Orphanages.

On Tuesday, Saint Mary Magdalen Catholic School had our Mission Carnival. Our Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. King, and the older students prepared the gym for a “Mardi Gras” celebration. Beads were handed out to the children, games and face painting were the hit of the day. All of the proceeds from the Mission Carnival will be sent to two Bolivian Orphanages that Saint Mary Magdalen Catholic School has adopted through Pan y Amor-Mission Office of the Archdiocese. These missions help boys and girls of all ages. Saint Mary Magdalen raised $522 to send to Pan y Amor for these children.
