Veteran’s Day project – Salute to our Service Men and Women!
Please send in the name of service members in your family – retired, present, or deceased. Please include their name, branch of service, and rank. This information will be placed on red, white, and blue stars that will hang in our hallways and on the Johnson Street windows. We are asking for $1 or more donation for each name. The money will be split between Student Council, American Legion, and VFW. Please send all donations and information by Monday, November 14th. It can be placed in an envelope marked “Student Council” and sent to the office.

The Christmas Star From A Far
Put Christ into the Advent and Christmas Season!! This is the Christian version of Elf on the Shelf. The Christmas Star from Afar encourages children to go on a hunt for their Star, similar to that of the Wise Men. If you would like to see a set, please stop by the parish or school office or after Mass where we will have an open sample. $35 each includes the activity book with a wooden Star, a full wooden nativity scene that matches the artwork of the book, and optional scripture to use throughout the month.

The school receives different percentages back on each card purchased. If you know you’ll be shopping at a specific store (ie shopnsave, etc) or dining at a specific restaurant (ie olive garden, etc), or paying your store charge (ie kohl’s, etc), please think about purchasing them from school. Thanks for your support!

If you don’t have one, contact the school office and we will get one to you. You only have to have them scan it at the time of your checkout – That’s it! Pretty easy, isn’t it?
