Saint Wenceslaus Catholic School Weekly Office Update
From the Office of Principal
Unfortunately the Minnesota weather has put a huge damper on all of our Catholic Schools Week activities. We are out of school Monday through Wednesday so we have cancelled all of the activities that were on the schedule for these days.
- We still plan to go on our skating trip on Thursday.
- We will have our family breakfast early Friday morning.
- The students will still do the blanket making and bring food to the food shelf on Friday.
- The party for all Preschool through 8th grade parents and teachers will still take place on Friday evening.
- See the revised schedule for details.
Sweepstakes Tickets are now due.
We will do the drawing from the school office and notify the winners on Friday afternoon.
Please turn in all of your tickets by Friday. Tickets not accounted for will be added to tuition accounts.
