TESTING WEEK (Sept. 29-Oct 3) we are in need of help to split some
of the double-graded classrooms up for testing for part of the time (esp. on
Thursday). If you can help out, please contact Mrs. Werdehausen.

ADD
TO YOUR SEPTEMBER CALENDAR: Student Health Screenings – this
Friday, Sept. 26th, by the Miller County
FUNDRAISING
NEWS: The breakfast last Sunday yielded a profit
of $363.30, which was down from previous breakfasts. As far as the book fair, we didn’t earn enough to
take cash, but we did earn $582.85 in books for the classrooms and library!
That’s pretty good! We wish to thank everyone who helped with these events. And
congratulations to Adam & Braden
Schulte, for winning the “Dragon’s Breath” guessing game. It took 132 mints
to freshen the dragon’s breath. Adam guessed 130 and Braden guessed 134 so they
split the jar of mints! Way to go, boys! In the Book fair Bingo game, the Preschool
and 1/2 classrooms won an
ice-cream party! What a treat!
MARCH
FOR LIFE: Recently,
the 7th & 8th graders received the papers for the
March for Life, to be held in Washington
D. C. January 20 – 23rd. If you (as a chaperone) or your child
is interested, you will need to have all forms filled out, make a deposit, and
a copy of the insurance card – both sides. Forms,
payment ($125 payable to Diocese of J. C.), and insurance information must
be submitted to Sheila Suess, our parish coordinator. Please note – the school
is not coordinating this event, nor is it school sponsored. We will, however,
forward paperwork/fees to Sheila, as they come in. The deadline for registration is Tuesday, September 30th.
MONTHLY
CALENDARS: You were provided monthly calendars for the entire
school year in your school handbook. We also post the calendar on our school
website, which is updated with game information and recent changes/additions to
the calendar. To save costs, we will no
longer provide the calendar in your Friday folder. For now, we will keep
sending the lunch menu, but it is also available online.
PIONEER
DAY is scheduled for Monday, October 13th (Columbus
Day). We scheduled it on this day because of the state holiday. We are asking
for parent helpers – both to help in the classrooms & grounds with pioneer
activities and with moving children between these activities. Please contact school office personnel with
your offer to help out. All students (and adults!) are encouraged to dress
in pioneer clothing for the day. If the student chooses not to dress in pioneer
clothing, the normal dress code is still in force. So far we have two volunteers – Wendy Whittle
& Kim Evers.
VOLLEYBALL/CHANGE
OF DATE: The JV game
scheduled for Tues., Oct 14 has been moved to Wed, Oct 15, same time, same
place, same opponent.
VOLLEYBALL NEWS: The 4/5 girls lost all three against Loose
Creek last Saturday, but scores were close, with the exception of the 2nd
game. Keep on tryin’ girls – you’re right there! Scores were: 25-23, 25-12,
25-22. Last night, the JV girls won all three sets, with scores of 25-23,
25-16, 25-22, against St. Peter, Fulton
HANDBOOK

EARLY
BIRD WINNERS!!! Congratulations to Luke & Nicky Perkins, who
were drawn as the Fantasy Night “Early Bird” winners last night. They chose to
take another ticket.
MILK
MONEY: Any student may purchase a milk at lunchtime for
50 cents. Students purchasing a school lunch already have a milk provided, but
may purchase an additional. Sack lunch students may purchase a milk for their
lunch. However, payment must be made to the office at the time the milk is
desired – no paying ahead. There will be no change available. So pack those
quarters parents!
