Notre Dame School serves Thanksgiving meal to seniors
Notre Dame School’s eighth-grade students served a Thanksgiving meal to more than 100 senior citizens this month as a way to build community.
Every year the students organize and give luncheons for senior citizens from Notre Dame Parish in Denver and surrounding senior-living homes in the school’s gymnasium.
“It really was an opportunity for seniors of the parish to come in and share community and share a meal,” said Principal Charlene Molis. “It has just grown from that.”
About a dozen students began the Thanksgiving Senior Luncheon Nov. 9 with a prayer then served a meal to the seniors followed by a game of bingo. The luncheon was organized around the theme of serving one another with joy, Molis said.
“We do many service projects and really encourage our children to be servant leaders,” Molis said. “They have just embraced the theme this year.”
Notre Dame students will host another senior luncheon in March for St. Patrick’s Day.
