WINSTON-SALEM — Our Lady of Mercy students in grades 5-7 recently participated in a Light A Luminary program and the whole school participated in an annual Thanksgiving basket program.
Students have been participating in the Light A Luminary program to support the Ronald McDonald House for the past 10 years.
Each year, middle school students put the luminary kits together, which the Ronald McDonald House sells to raise funds.

The Our Lady of Mercy Church Outreach Committee organizes this program and each year, the school donates canned goods, non-perishable items and anything else needed for a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Each year there are a total of 11 baskets and each basket is given to a local family in need.
