BONUS DRESS DOWN DAY

Fantasy Night Set-up 6:30 pm

FANTASY NIGHT:  ALL FANTASY NIGHT TICKETS – SOLD AND UNSOLD, NEED TO BE TURNED INTO THE OFFICE ON MONDAY. Congratulations to Chris & Pat Vitello, winners of the Early Bird Drawing.  This lucky couple can either choose to take the $100 cash or an additional ticket.

PROGRESS REPORTS and sign-offs were sent home last week. If you have not already done so, please check grades and return signed slip. As always, if you have a question or concern, do not hesitate to contact the classroom teacher.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We are in need of parents to help with the soccer fun league. Kaysie Scheuler will head up this league, but several parents will be needed to work with each group of students. Practices would be around 6:30 pm, and days of week depend on parent helper preferences.  Please contact Mrs. Werdehausen with your offer to help.

MANY THANKS to…

·          Dawn Clabaugh, who is volunteering her time to help us out with daily recess duty. What a great undertaking with such a willing attitude.

·          Elaine Kempker & Dianne Goetz, who so willingly volunteered to help with the Health Screenings on Thursday.

If you see these ladies around, please thank them for their donation of time and talent for our students.

LIBRARY HELP STILL NEEDED: We are in need of a library helper on Tuesdays to help Christina read to the students. Please call the office if you would like to volunteer.

STUDENT HEALTH SCREENINGS

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION NEWS: We will be making our semi-annual Box Tops submission at the end of October. Please send in any that you may have accumulated. Many thanks to Jeanne Buechter and girls, who have been taking care of these submissions for the last several years! Since Jeanne’s youngest will be graduating from 8^th grade this year, we are looking for a replacement volunteer to head up this program (and also the Best Choice UPC program). It involves clipping and packaging the Box Tops and making sure they are submitted twice a year. One thing that would really help out would be if all would take the few seconds to cut these out instead of tearing them – it saves space and postage costs. Thanks so much to all who clip and save!

VIRTUS TRAINING:  The Diocese of Jefferson City will hold a VIRTUS – Protecting God’s Children – session on Thursday, Oct. 3 @ 6:30 pm at Sacred Heart, Eldon (Catholic Center). All employees and volunteers 18 years and over who have ongoing and/or unsupervised contact with children and youth in our parish are required to attend a VIRTUS session. All parents and other adults in the parish community are encouraged to attend. To register for the session, please go to www.virtusonline.org or call the chancery @ 635-9127.

We could also use help with daily recess duty, from 10:00 to 10:30 and 11:20 to 11:40 daily. Volunteer(s) could take one, two…or all days of week. Mostly this is just general oversight and to be available to take students in who have gotten hurt on the playground or who need to use the restroom. Lunch is provided. Please ask your relatives if they would like to help us out and urge them to call Mrs. Werdehausen.

FANTASY NIGHT:  ALL sold and unsold tickets need to be returned to your main holder or to the office. We are getting several requests for tickets that we cannot fill at the office. Only approximately 70 have been turned into the bank as sold. This leaves 230 tickets still out there, most hopefully sold. Please do not hold on to tickets that are not “for sure”. The weekend would be a great time to get all ticket sales finalized.
