ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM—TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15TH —7:00 P.M.
Parents/guardians, grandparents, family and friends are all invited to join us for an evening of musical delight. Our children and teachers are working very hard to present our Christmas Program. The school children, Pre-K—8, should wear “Sunday Best” clothing—red and/or green or Holiday dress. If a grade needs to wear something special, the teachers will inform the families. On December 15th the children should be in Church by 6:45 p.m. They are to leave their coats with their families. The children will be sitting with their classes until the end of the program.
FAMILY AND SCHOOL UPDATE
Remember that all of the activities of the Family and School are centered around your children. The first distribution of any funds received through their events is always for the students. If any money is left over then it goes to the school for items that classrooms need.
HALLOWEEN LUNCH
The Halloween lunch was a “blast”. All of the Moms, Dads, friends and family that came to help had more fun than the children. Many thanks to all of the families that came; the children had a great time and are grateful to all of you.
PANCAKE BREAKFAST
Many thanks to the entire Family and School Committee and their families and all those (including students) who cooked, served and helped make this year’s Pancake Breakfast on November 15th a success. The food was delicious, the decorations and atmosphere were terrific and the company was pleasant. Our thanks also to the over 300 guests most of whom are our parishioners who came to enjoy the event. Everyone’s hard work brought a profit of $1,132.00 to the school. THANK YOU!
F.Y.I. In order to help in the school or with activities centered around children you must be Virtus trained (meaning you need to attend a 3 hour class and do online readings) AND you must complete an online Criminal Background Check. You may request information from the school office.
COLLECTION FOR THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR
During December our school will be having a toiletry collection for the Little Sisters of the Poor. Since their mission is to care for the aged and disabled, they are always in need of toiletries. As an act of sharing with those in need we are asking for families to donate the following items from November 30th --December 11th. The items listed are the most important: KLEENEX, BODY LOTION, MOUTHWASH, BODY WASH (SHOWER GEL), EFFERDENT, DEPENDS. Please be generous and think of the elderly in your family that someday may need assistance. Items can be brought to your child’s homeroom.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WITH DIAGRAM
On November 24th a detailed set of instructions and a diagram was sent home with your children. Many of the drivers do not follow these directions. In the rush of the morning, some drivers do not look before they pull away and someone will have an accident and more importantly someone will get hurt. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read the drop off and pick up directions and review the diagram; AND share this information with other family members and friends who also drive your children to school.

INCLEMENT WEATHER
We are in the season of unpredictable weather conditions. First and foremost, please make sure that your children are dressed for the weather. Unless the temperature is below 30 degrees or it’s raining or snowing, etc., the children will wait outside in the morning and/or have recess.
If weather conditions are questionable, please listen to the weather reports on radio and TV. We will also use the School Reach phone system. That is why we need accurate phone numbers.

Please be mindful of the drop off procedures in the morning. From 7:45 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. no one should stop or slow up to watch your child enter the building on 112th, Avenue G or Avenue H.

If you need to drop off your child after 7:30 a.m., please do not park in the traffic drop off lane as described above. A parked car at that time will be in the way of the traffic flow and could cause an accident. Please be respectful to the adults who help monitor traffic. Also, do not have the children sit in your cars and wait for the second bell to ring. WHEN THESE RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED, ERRATIC DRIVING OCCURS AND A CHILD WILL GET HURT.

In nice weather, it is not too much of a problem; however, when the weather becomes inclement, obstruction to the flow of traffic is magnified and could cause someone to get hurt.
It is very frustrating to watch the cars deliberately park in places that they should not. In their hurry to pull away from the curb, there is a good probability of an accident. Please follow the guidelines: THE LIFE YOU SAVE COULD BE YOUR OWN CHILD!
