Nickels for Nurses Project

During Lent, all three Atrium Sunday School classes will participate in the Nickels for Nurses Project. This program, which is sponsored by our Diocese, seeks to provide a school nurse for La Resurrection School, a K-12 Parish School which serves 829 students in La Resurrection Parish in Haiti. For $20 a day (400 nickels), we can pay a daily salary for a Haitian school nurse. Let's see how many days we can pay for a nurse to provide care at La Resurrection - parents, please encourage your children to bring their nickels (or larger coins) to class to support this worthwhile project.
