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.
