 Dear
Parents,
With
a few days “under
our belt,” a
couple of things
have surfaced that
need to be addressed. Your
help with these is
greatly appreciated.
- If
your child/ren
will not be in
school, please
call the School
Office by 8:15
AM to call them
off. A written
note is still required
upon their return
to school. This
note is to state
the reason for
their absence.
- Any
change in your
child’s
dismissal must
be stated in a
note—even
if it is just “getting
off at a different
stop.” Just
a reminder. Students
cannot ride on
a bus from another
school district. So
when making arrangements
for visiting, check
to see if your
child’s friend
is in the same
school district.
- Please
remind your child/ren
about bus safety. While
there are no seat
belts on the big
busses, children
(regardless of
age) are to be
properly seated,
feet on the floor
(if they can reach
it) and backpacks
on their laps. Riding
the bus is a privilege—we
hope none of our
students lose it.
- As
I write this,
I see five lunch
boxes on the counter
with no name in
any of them. Three
of them have been
here since Monday! Please,
please put your
child’s name
on the INSIDE or
just the first
name on the outside. Items
not claimed within
a week are going
to “disappear.”
In another vein,
there are some events
coming up that I
want to bring
to your attention. This
weekend is the Ethnic
Festival in Butler. Our
PTG has had the “pie
booth” for
the past seven years. We
need your “fruit
pies!” Please
bring your pies to
school on Friday,
September 15, by
4:00 PM. If
you cannot make pies,
please send in your
donation so that
we can purchase some
pies. But remember, “homemade” is
always better.
All
students in Grades
4-8 who plan to
play volleyball,
basketball, or soccer
must have a current
physical and they
must register for
their sport. On
Sunday, September
17, from 6:00—8:00
PM there will be
three physicians
here to do physicals
for these students. A
parent must accompany
the student. Members
of the Athletic Association
will be present to
register students
for the various sports. The
fee is $40 per child
per sport. If
there is a financial
difficulty with this
fee, please see me.
We’re
extending the “Kidstuff
Coupon Book” for one more
week. The monies we gain
from this go into the “Fundraising” part
of the budget. We hoped
to sell 400 books to yield a
$5,000 profit. Please help
make that goal a reality. Monies
for orders are due by Wednesday,
September 20.
This
year, we’ve
made a change in
the Mass Schedule. Grades
4, 5, & 6 will
go on Tuesdays, Grades
7 & 8 will go
on Wednesdays, and
Grades 1, 2, & 3
will go on Thursdays. There
will be no Mass on
Friday EXCEPT for
the First Friday
of each month. Mass
in the Chapel is
at 1:30 PM and Mass
on First Fridays
will be at 1:15 PM
in the Auditorium
unless otherwise
stated.
Thank
you for your prayers
for my brother. The
pacemaker has improved
his heart rate to
25% of it working. They
cannot do the needed
surgery until that
improves. Please
keep him in your
prayers.
Tuesday
evening, September
19, is our “Meet
the Teacher Night” at
our PTG gathering. It
will take place at
7:00 PM in the Gym
and is an informal
information evening. We
hope to see all of
you there.
May
you always feel the
loving arms of our
Provident God holding
you close to His
heart. May
He bless you abundantly
Gratefully,
Sister
John Ann
