Thank you to everyone who responded to our request a few weeks ago for students in Grades 3 – 8 to participate in Sunday Mass at St. James Church.  This is a great chance for our church parishioners – many of whom very generously support our school – to see the some of the wonderful students they are investing in.

We have our student readers all scheduled, but are still in need of Gift Bearers & Greeters for many of the masses.  Please take a look at the dates below and let us know if your child is able to help out in either capacity (you do not need to be a parishioner at St. James Church to have your child help/attend). 

All Children’s Masses are at 9:00 am the 2nd Sunday of each month through June and are listed below:

September 10, 2017
October 8, 2017
November 12, 2017

February 11, 2018

If you are interested, please send an email to Cindy Herr at cndherr@cox.net listing the parent’s name, student’s name, participation preference, and Mass dates that you are available to attend.

Thank you for your consideration!

There is a planning meeting tonight (9/28) for anyone who is interested in helping with the Trunk or Treat event.  The meeting will be at 6:00pm in the school cafeteria.  If you cannot attend but would like to help, please email Cathy Deschaine at cathyd241@gmail.com.

Thank you to all the families who came out to kick off the year at the Family Dance Party.  There were delicious treats provided by the Baking Committee, fun dances led by DJ-mom Mrs. Cattanach and student helpers, Abby Ray and Lauren Toomey, and a special visit from Sammy the Saber!  A special thank you to Mrs. Poth and Mrs. Fiereck for organizing the event, to the parent volunteers who helped out before and during the dance, and to Mrs. Zorger for escorting Sammy.  Below are a few photos (click to enlarge) sent in by Mrs. Fiereck.

Please note, 2:05pm dismissal Today (through Thursday) will take place in the staff lot between the main school and the Pre-Kindergarten facility as the gym will be set up for the Scholastic Book fair.  Today, the book fair will be open until 2:30pm if you would like to stop in to shop after picking up your student.  You can also shop during the Meet the Teachers nights on Tuesday and Wednesday, or send your child/ren with CASH tomorrow to purchase on their own.
