NEW
NEWS
1. Grandparents
Day Tomorrow, October 2nd – Grandparents’/Special
Friend Day Is Friday, October 2nd.
We celebrated with T/Th preschool today and will celebrate again with
our M/W/F Preschool also. We love having
our grandparents here! On Friday for
Kindergarten – 6th grade, the day will begin with hospitality. Refreshments will be served beginning at
12:00 pm in the cafeteria followed by mass at 12:30 pm. Grandparents may find a seat in church for
themselves and their grandchildren. The
students will be coming to church with their teachers. Students will look for their grandparents.
Afterwards, there will be time for classroom activities. Refer to the invitation in last week’s
Thursday’s folder. We hope your child’s
grandparents will be able to join us for this special day. If children will be going home with
grandparents, please return the permission form to school. This permission is required before we can
release the children to go home with grandpa & grandma.
2. School Attire – As the
weather gets cooler, students need to wear long pants and long sleeves if the
temperature is 65 degrees or less when they go outside for recess. If they choose to wear shorts for the day,
students are welcome to keep a pair of long pants in their backpacks to wear at
recess. Thank you for helping us keep
your children healthy.
3.
Dog Bite Prevention Talks – You will find two flyers in your
youngest child’s Thursday folder regarding Dog Bite Prevention. Marit Ortega, ASA parent and a representative
from the Tri-County Humane Society presented information to K/1/2 this
week. Please read over the materials and
feel free to talk further with your children.
Ms. Ortega will be visiting the other grade levels over the next two
weeks.
4. Workathon –
Families will find information regarding the Workathon in this week’s Thursday
folder. St. Cloud campus is in need of
work-sites. If you know of someone in
the neighborhood that needs assistance with raking or other yard work, please
complete the forms that were provided last week. We have received a few recommendations for
work-sites, but we still need many more!
The Kick-off will take place Friday, October 2nd in the
morning. Your youngest will bring home a
Workathon 2015 “Saints in Service” famiy packet, also. All donations will be applied towards your
$350 fundraising goal/child. Each child
will receive a pledge sheet to track his/her fundraising. Please turn in money daily. Send all money to school in a sealed and
labeled envelope. Write your child’s name, homeroom and total amount
enclosed on the outside of the envelope.
We will make every effort to provide the prizes on a next day basis.
