SUPER DABBER BINGO—SUN. 10/11/09
Are you looking for something fun to do? Why not go to the Super Dabber Bingo? It’s a relaxing, fun time, several chances to win prizes, great dinner buffet and only $26 per person. Another good reason is that all proceeds from Bingo go directly to the school and help to keep your tuition cost down. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. Dinner is served at 2:00 p.m. Bingo games begin at 3:30 p.m. The Bingo committee is waiting to serve you! Have a great time!
CASH “WIN” FALL RAFFLE
Don’t forget to buy your $100 raffle ticket (or more). Only 500 tickets are being sold; SO DON’T WAIT TIL THE LAST MINUTE! You have a great opportunity to be a winner if you buy tickets. Maybe the $15,000.00 will be your “Win Fall”. THIS RAFFLE COUNTS TOWARDS YOUR $300 FUNDRAISING OBLIGATION. Drawing takes place Saturday, October 17th in the School Hall at 8 p.m. This year the Vendors Bazaar & Chicken Dinner sponsored by Annunciata Human Concerns Committee will take place at 6 p.m. immediately following the 5 p.m. Mass on October 17th in conjunction with the raffle. Tickets are on sale after the Sunday masses.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Please plan ahead for the annual Parent/Teacher Conferences to be held on November 13th, from mid-afternoon to early evening. Dismissal on November 13th will be at 11:30 a.m. There will not be Extended Day after school on November 13th. Remember that all students in grades 3-8 are required to attend the conference with their parents/guardians. Information regarding scheduling appointments will be sent home later in October. Sports schedules are not to interfere with the conferences.
FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY
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. No one ever is to wait to watch your child enter the building when you are in the drop off area between the two driveways on the parking lot. 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. THE CHILD WILL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.
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!

Americanism Essay Contest Update
The first place essay written by David Stahl has also won the Third Division Competition. His composition will now go on to the division competition and possibly on to the state.
Congratulations again David!
Congratulations again David!
MARCH NEWS 2009
TERRA NOVA TESTING
Testing for grades K-7 will be administered from March 3rd through March 13th. The only preparation you can help with is to be sure that the children have plenty of rest (at least 8 hours of sleep) and eat three balanced meals daily.
If your child misses part of the test due to illness, we will do our best to have him/her make it up. Please understand that if several sections are missed, it may be impossible to make up; and therefore, the test may not be sent in for scoring.
The students should come prepared each day with two or three sharpened number 2 pencils.
SACRAMENTS
Please pray for our second graders as they approach their first Reconciliation this month, March 28th. They have diligently been preparing for this sacrament, as well as, for their First Holy Communion in April.
We ask for prayers for our eighth graders also. They have been preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation that will take place in May. Since the beginning of this school year, they have been doing service hours, as well as, keeping up with their studies. On March 31st they will enjoy the experience of the Confirmation Retreat.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Our seventh and eighth grade students participated in an Americanism essay competition sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. Three of the students had winning essays, and the first place essay has been sent on to the Third District Americanism Chairman for further competition. The winners are: 1st prize – David Stahl; 2nd prize – Vincenzo Caporale; 3rd prize – Ryan Miller. Good Luck David! Annunciata is proud of all of you!

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.

Parking on 112th Street in the morning is becoming a dangerous problem. Some cars are double parking to let the children off. THE SAFEST DROP OFF IS IN THE PARKING LOT BETWEEN THE TWO DRIVEWAYS. THE ENTIRE AREA IS MONITORED FOR SAFETY. THAT IS ALSO THE CLOSEST DOOR TO THE ENTRANCE, ESPECIALLY, IN BAD WEATHER.
PLEASE COOPERATE BY NOT PARKING OR DROPPING OFF STUDENTS ON 112TH STREET OR ON EAST SIDE OF AVENUE H.
