buckets and any larger type containers (even whipped topping containers) for
freezing. Please send in any that you may have. Thank you!
MICROWAVE NEEDED: The
microwave in the kitchen went out recently and we are really missing it. If
anyone has an extra or would like to purchase & donate a new one, it would
be greatly appreciated.
DRESS DOWN PASSES can now be
used on Wednesdays as well as
Fridays until the end of the year.
STATIONS: Students will be attending Stations of the Cross each Friday at
2:15 pm. If you or a grandparent is attending and would like to take your child
after the service, please send a note to school. This will enable the student
to bring his/her backpack to church.

LITTLE LEAGUE SIGN-UP: Monday,
Feb. 22, 5-8 pm & Wednesday, Feb. 24, 5-8 pm @ the KC Hall/Ballfield.
RICE BOWLS: Last week you received
a Lenten Rice Bowl. The Rice Bowl can be used in the home as a powerful tool in
your family’s Lenten journey. Your children will also be watching a DVD about
the Rice Bowl and the work that Catholic Relief Services does in their religion
classes. For Lent, you may use these tools to:
PRAY – using the daily reflections on the
calendar provided in the bowl.
FAST – with the suggested weekly meatless
meals, and learn about people around the world.
GIVE – your Lenten sacrifices to your CRS
Rice Bowl.
After Easter, you may turn your Rice
Bowl in to the school or bring it to church to turn in. Thank you!
LUNCH
NOTICE: For students purchasing daily lunches: Students may
choose a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in lieu of the main entrée if they
have a note from home. They must bring a note on the day that the
substitution is desired and must present it to the classroom teacher first
thing in the morning. Please note that the “main entrée” is the protein item.
For example, if our meal is vegetable soup with grilled cheese & string
cheese, the substitution would be for the cheese sandwich & string
cheese, not for the vegetable soup.
DEADLINE FOR FRIDAY NOTES: Thursdays, 9:00 am. All non-school related flyers
need to be copied ahead of time on paper (the school cannot afford to supply
paper for outside events). Upon approval
by the principal, the information will then be placed in the Friday folder
as a courtesy. It is not appropriate for the school to send out extraneous
information that can be handled other ways. Also, if you have items for the
Friday notes, please write these items up, send them in, or email them to rosie@radiowire.net (call to let me know
you have emailed please). I don’t mind doing a little editing and rewording,
but the bulk of the item should be outlined with details.
MEDICATION
AT SCHOOL: We do not have a “stock supply” of
medications for students. You may choose to send in a pain reliever or other
types of medicine for your child. Make sure to clearly mark the container(s),
and send a note giving staff permission to dispense the medication, with explicit dosage instructions and dosage
cups/spoons. These will be locked up in the office. Sometimes having medicine
available here for your child can mean not having to come after him/her or
making a special trip to bring medications.
COLLECTION
ENVELOPES FOR THURSDAY MASS: Each Thursday, the
students have the opportunity to place their offering in the collection. If you
need collection envelopes at home, please let us know & some will be sent
home. We also have them available in the cafeteria for student use.
