St. Theresa School donates baby items to PHD
St. Theresa School students participated in a walk for PHD, the Society for the Preservation of Human Dignity. PHD is a counseling center for pregnancy help and education. Services include professional counseling, case management, support groups and educational classes.
As a PHD client utilizes PHD's services, she earns a visit to the Maternity and Baby Closet through a voucher system. Women can receive formula, food, diapers, clothes and other supplies. PHD's baby closet is utilized by more than 100 clients each month. St. Theresa School's walk consistently has helped stock the shelves with baby items for several months.
For more than 20 years, St. Theresa School has participated in the PHD walk as one of their many school Community Service Projects. Students in preschool through eighth grade purchase baby items for the PHD Baby Closet.
On Tuesday, Nov. 24, the items were brought to St. Theresa Church by the students, where they participated in a Thanksgiving Prayer Service. After the service, the students walked from the church to Ost Track, where PHD volunteers collected the donations and transported them back to the counseling center. Eighth-graders then assisted the PHD staff in sorting the donations.
St. Theresa School is a two time National Blue Ribbon of Excellence School that has been teaching students in the Palatine community for more than 60 years.
