Helping Hands of Mercy

Helping Hands of Mercy is OLM's school-wide outreach program. We are committed to the concept of "children helping children." Each month throughout the year we have a project. For example, we have collected winter coats and blankets every winter for children who do not have adequate protection from the cold weather. We serve the community in ways that children can help. We invite you to check out our webpage (Helping Hands of Mercy Webpage) to see what we have been involved in this year.

The Middle School Leadership Team is made up of 6th, 7th and 8th grade volunteers who help steer the activities and inform the students in all classes. It is their energy and enthusiasm which keeps HHM active and operating. We are especially grateful for their vision and leadership.

Our 2011-2012 leadership team has planned the following events for the year. If you would like to download the schedule for more details, click here.
