May God bless all our veterans as we remember their contributions for our freedom! We ask special blessings for our vets on the school staff: Mrs. Phetsadasack and Mrs. Martin.
Although the weather is fantastic now, the snows will blow soon. I have sent School Reach phone messages already this school year. If you did not get a call, please contact the office to verify your phone numbers. If you change any previous phone numbers, you must notify the office as well as change them on Fast Direct.
The Advent season is fast approaching. That is the start of the Church calendar year. Now is the time to renew your commitment to the faith. If you don’t attend Sunday Mass, make an early resolution to take your child(ren) every week. The students are very candid about their Mass attendance.
Our annual auction is next Saturday night (Nov. 14th). I want to extend special thanks to the many parents, students, and friends who have worked so hard to make this evening a special event. Because of all of the hard work by so many people, we expect another successful auction again this year. This is the largest fundraiser for the school and parish.
If you are unable to attend, you can still contribute in other ways. There are raffles, the Golden Key, and Raise Your Paddle. We are able to offer all of the newest technology through the generous contributions to the auction.
The Student Council is sponsoring a dress down day next Friday (Nov. 13th). For $1, the students may wear a T-shirt with Wacky Tie (tie is optional). The proceeds will help fund the programs that the student council has planned.
We continue to pray for Emily Voyles in our latchkey as she recovers from complications in the birth of her baby. We will welcome back Mr. Winterbottom from paternity leave and Mrs. Bergman from maternity leave next Monday.
