For PreK Families – only

Be sure to turn in your registration forms for our kindergarten program.
Registration fee waived until November 23rd.

Sick?
Please be sure to tell the school the symptoms of the illness as you are calling in.  We have had many students ill in the last few weeks, and we need to report our numbers to the health department. 

If your child has the flu or covid diagnosis, let us know. If they have a fever, sore throat, or cough, let us know this too. An entirely different flu might be one with vomit and diarrhea.

We appreciate your good communication with sick children.

Coffee and Donuts

Come to Mass this week, November 23 and then join other parents for coffee in the cafeteria. This is a great time to meet other parents. New parents are especially encouraged to join us.

Students will be sitting in their Family Groups (This is a combination of kids from grades 8 through kindergarten) Students in Grade 1 will be singing.

Did you get your envelope with tickets for our Sweepstakes and our Pot-o-Gold?

The Sweepstakes is required.
$300 worth ($100 for preschool) of tickets to sell.
We are giving these to you early so that you have plenty of time before the drawing, which takes place on February 1.
More tickets are available in the school office.

Pot-o-Gold is a raffle for our $20,000 prize.
This year each family received one ticket to buy or sell.
The drawing is in June.
We have 650 to sell in total. We need people to try selling more to meet our goal.
Call or stop in at the school office.

Correct snow clothing for your child?

Now with the cold and snowy weather, please make sure all students have the proper clothing.
Hats, mittens/gloves, coats, snow pants, boots, scarf/face mask when the temperature is cold.
Preschool through grade 7 will be going outside for recess every day. (Grade 7 has study hall options, and 8th grade has extended time for math class)

We will go outside when the temperature is above zero, and we watch the windchill too, and usually go outside if the windchill is above zero in combination with the temperature.  Our playground supervisors and office staff will also make a decision on indoor/outdoor recess on a day-by-day basis, depending on the wind level on the playground and temp/windchill.

From the School Advisory Council
We know that families are busy and sometimes it helps to have new ideas to incorporate more of the faith into your family life. 

For the Love of Family
This week’s challenge:
Begin your day with thanks and praise. Start your day, before you open your eyes or roll out of bed, with a few thoughts of how grateful you are for the opportunity to try your best another day. Thank God for your abundant blessings, thinking of one or two things that will make you smile. Do this before any anxiousness of a to-do list or heaviness creeps into your mind. Try this for a bright start to your day and encourage others in your family to do the same!
