Dress Down Day
Fri -
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 these volunteers – Wendy Whittle, Bryan Evers, Melissa Koetting
(morning), Brittany Goetz (morning) & Kim Evers.
DONUTS
WITH DAD: Thursday, October 16th. Dads (or dad
“subs”) you are invited to school between 7:00 & 7:30 to enjoy donuts with
your kids in the school cafeteria. You are also invited to attend Mass with
your child that morning or go on to work, as time permits.
SCHOOL
PICTURE DAY is scheduled for Friday, October 17th. Thanks so much to Alvina Sestak and Ashley
Kempker (& Debbie Schulte, if
needed) for offering to help that morning.
PRESCHOOL
PARENTS: If your child does not normally attend on Fridays,
you are encouraged to bring your child at 8:00 am the morning of pictures,
Friday, Oct. 17th. We will do the preschool photos first. Otherwise,
there will be a retake day scheduled for later.
COMMITTEE
FOR FAMILIES IN NEED: As a faith community, we are called to help those
families in need of ongoing support due to health, financial, personal and
other types of crises. We are asking for volunteers to form a committee to
respond to the needs of these families – whether it be through
coordinating/providing dinners, clothing, etc. Please contact the school office
if you would like to help head up or help with this ongoing effort. We thank Melissa Koetting, Kim Evers, and
Brittany Goetz, for volunteering for this committee to date.
SANTA
STORE: The Santa Store is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 18th,
during special classes. This is a special opportunity for our school children
to shop for family members and they REALLY enjoy it. We are in need of
donations of any kind, but most especially “dad” gifts, and brother/sister
gifts. You can send those items in at any time. Also, we will need some helper
elves to wrap gifts and help the students with shopping. Debbie Schulte & Wendy Whittle have volunteered to help out. If
you are able to be here that day, please contact someone in the office.
SHILOH
DANCE FUNDRAISER: Today you are receiving the flyer for a school
sponsored dance featuring the popular band, Shiloh .
Please hang these flyers up at your workplace and around the community. If you
need any more, please contact the office.

the health screenings last Friday – Dianne
Goetz, Elaine Kempker, & Barb Adrian. We really appreciate it! If you
see them, let them know of your appreciation.

were any concerns regarding your child’s health screening, you will find notice

and sponsors other activities through the year. Please contact Mrs. Werdehausen
with your offer to help.
MONTHLY

school year in your school handbook. We also post the calendar on our school
