St. Aloysius Announces Easter Basket for Precious Peeps on April 7, Part of New Canaan's 30 Days of Family

Part of New Canaan's "30 Days of Family" St. Aloysius Announces "Easter Baskets for Precious Peeps" on April 7

A wonderful way to experience tech-free family time is to work together in service to those in need.  There are several advocacy organizations that work with children in crisis (Norwalk Dept of Children and Families, Breakthrough Options, Thorpe Family Residence).  So why not put down the electronic devices and take on this project as a family to provide an Easter Basket for a child in crisis.  This is an at-home family activity.

Each family is asked to use a 12" in diameter Easter Basket and fill it with the following items.  Wrap it in cellophane and tie it with a festive ribbon.  Then, bring your basket to the Tudor House (30 Maple Street) on the St. Aloysius  Campus on Sunday, April 7 between the hours of 9am - 6pm.
