THURSDAY TIDBIT
God’s Words Guide Us                                    March 30, 2006

PRINCIPAL NOTES: On Tuesday, April 4th, at 7:30 we are holding an Open Forum meeting in the Parish Center. Keeping all of our school families’ best interest in mind, our School Board has been working hard on next year’s tuition rates. Please show your support of our School Board members by being present at this Open Forum. We continue to work together for the good of your children and St. Barbara School.

I want to thank the 8th graders for holding the upcoming Easter egg raffle (flier enclosed) to benefit the people of Fr. Mark’s village in Uganda. Fr. Mark was an Associate Priest here at St. Barbara’s for a few years. He is presently on the faculty at Quigley High School. We continue to remember him, his family, and the school children of Uganda.

Please try to join us for Stations of the Cross each Friday during Lent at 7:30 p.m. in Church.

SCHOOL BOARD NEWS: The Community Forum is Tuesday, April 4th, at 7:30 p.m. in the gym. It is important for our school families to attend in order to see what next year's tuition rates will be as well as fundraising and volunteer requirements. Babysitting will be available.
