St. Francis of Assisi’s Feast Day
On Tuesday, October 4, at 10:30 am the Elementary students will be celebrating St. Francis of Assisi’s feast day with a prayer service. Students are asked to bring in a picture of their pets which will be blessed by Fr. Morley.

Volunteers Needed!
We are still desperately looking for parent volunteers to assist with the serving of the Hot Lunch program. We have no one on Mondays so if you can help us out please contact Mrs. Lisa Rhind on 292-4134, extn. 1916 or lrhind@msa.bm.
Do you have gently used summer clothing (no shoes please) for children sizes 6 months to size 10 that you no longer need? If so, Mrs. Karen Camara’s sister, who lives in Panama and who is very active in her community and assists families with young children who are less fortunate than we are, hopes to collect children’s clothing on her upcoming visit to Bermuda in October. Any surplus donations will be given to a local charity. Thanks so very much for your consideration. All items need to be collected by Friday, October 21st.
MSA Tracksuits can be viewed/ordered during scheduled Uniform Shop hours, and the deadline has now been extended until October 14th.
BAZAAR HELP NEEDED
The plant stall is once again asking families for plant donations for their stall. If anyone has any they are willing to provide or you have any questions, please email Anthony and Pam Amaral at amaralap@northrock.bm. Any and all plants welcome.
The Second Hand Rose Stall for this year's bazaar is now accepting donations. If you have any goods such as home decorating items, books, jewelry, toys or anything else that could be displayed and sold at the stall please feel free to leave them outside Room 12 or outside the office where they will be collected daily. Thank you for your help in making this stall and the bazaar a success.
