PRINCIPAL NOTES: Thank you, Thank you! Russ & Chris Jablonski, Steff Woywod, and ALL of our volunteers who worked so hard to make Casino Nights a success again this year! Thanks on behalf of myself, the faculty and staff, and the KIDS!
During parent / teacher conferences this Sunday, please take some time to view the students' art work which will be displayed in our Art Room and hallways.
We will still accept food donations for Sr. Margaret’s Food Pantry tomorrow morning. In addition to the items listed on the monthly calendar, Sr. Margaret is in desperate need of additional items for Thanksgiving. Please feel free to substitute items for the following: Stove Top stuffing, canned yams, canned cranberry sauce, disposable plates and silverware, instant mashed potatoes. Thanks for your generosity!
OUT-OF-UNIFORM: November 15th will be an out-of-uniform day to show your school spirit and support our athletes! Bring in .50 cents and be sure to wear blue and/or gold!
BATTERY DRIVE: The sixth grade students continue to accept donations of new, packaged batteries to benefit the Humanitarian Service Project. During the coming holiday season, many needy children will receive games and toys from HSP, and the batteries we donate will accompany the gifts. Our sincere thanks go out to all who have already made a donation. Through your generosity we have collected 122 double A batteries, 20 triple A, 22 C batteries, 10 D cells and four 9-volts. If you have not already made a donation, please consider making a contribution to this worthy cause. We will have containers at the end of each hallway until November 16th. Thanks!! --Mrs. Bailey and the students of Grade 6.
