SCRIP: Please see information in the Friday Folders this week!! Plan ahead for your Christmas shopping and help the school earn money on each purchase! Volunteers will be in the Gathering Space after 10:30 a.m. Mass this Sunday, November 11th.
The school office carries a variety of scrip cards and can order almost anything. Visit the website: www.shopwithscrip.com for the complete list. The school receives different percentages back on each card purchased. If you know you’ll be shopping at a specific store (ie WalMart, etc) or dining at a specific restaurant (ie Olive Garden, Ravanelli’s, etc), or paying your store charge (ie Kohl’s, etc), please think about purchasing them from school. Thanks for your support!

Lifetouch Picture RETAKE on November 16
If your student was absent on picture day, they will have their picture taken for the yearbook. If you were not satisfied with your student’s original picture, you must return your picture package to have a retake.
SCHOOL MESSENGER SYSTEM
School Messenger is SSPP’s phone notification system used when school will close for weather, emergencies and to announce special events or reminders. If you have changed or added a phone line for emergency contact, please change it on your Fast Direct page. Then, contact the office and let us know of the change. You may have up to 5 separate lines in the School Messenger System. Parents/guardians are responsible to keep the office informed of any phone number changes.
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. Each $35 set 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. A set of additional stable animals is $20. Cash or check payable to Ss. Peter & Paul.
