Friday - December Dress Down Day
The cafeteria looks wonderful – decorated so nicely for Christmas. Thanks so much to the energetic Student Council for adding that special touch to our Christmas season!
The CHRISTMAS PROGRAM is scheduled for Sunday, December 12th, after the 10:00 am Mass, in the GYM. Students should wear dress clothing – no jeans (school dress code works nicely). Preschoolers will be dressing in costumes, to be provided by the school.
WEDNESDAY is the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception – a Holy Day of Obligation. ALL SCHOOL STAFF WILL BE ATTENDING THIS MASS, SO IF YOU ARE DROPPING OFF YOUR CHILDREN AFTER 7:55 AM, PLEASE BRING THEM DIRECTLY TO CHURCH.
BASKETBALL WORK SCHEDULES ARE POSTED ON THE SCHOOL WEBSITE – under the SPORTS tab. If you do not have web access, please contact the school office for a hard copy. We will publish scheduled workers in the notes each week, but for planning purposes the full schedule will be found on our website. If you are scheduled to work the first game of the day/evening, please come 30 minutes early because teams arrive 30 minutes before the games. If you cannot work your scheduled time, please trade with someone. PARENTS – PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR SMALLER CHILDREN RUN THROUGH THE GYM & CAFETERIA DURING THESE GAMES – it is distracting to the players and does not look good to visitors. Also – only children of those parents working at the time may be in the concession/kitchen area. Parents – please supervise your children if they are in the kitchen with you. This is a safety issue, so please abide by these requests. Several times, we have had the burners turned on with no flames – thus releasing a considerable amount of propane into our school. Thank you for your consideration and thanks for all you do to make this a successful basketball season.

It is time now to be “getting on those thinking caps” to come up with a project idea. Students in grades 3rd through 8th will be required to do a project, which will be part of their science grade. Younger students are encouraged to do projects for show. Boards will be offered after the first of the year for a nominal fee. Students in grades 6th ,7th ,& 8th are required to also do a paper with their project. The diocesan fair will be held March 19th. More information will be provided after the Christmas vacation.
