Gospel Value: Respect
Respecting the life and dignity of myself and each person in thought, word and action.
Dear Star Families and Friends,
Fall is knocking on our door, the leaves are changing, and cool weather is drawing near. Our students are well into their studies, and class routines are set. Our teachers are eager to help their students succeed. Remember, communication between parents, students and teacher is an important key to success. Checking your child’s progress and making sure homework is complete is just one way that you can make this happen. Let’s keep our stars shining and make sure they stay on track.
Have a great weekend!

Baby Shower For Birth Choice
This month we started our service project for the whole school. The project is a Baby Shower for Birth Choice.

Pre-K3 and K4 - baby bottles
Kdg. and 1st– pacifiers
2nd-3rd– Diapers
4th-5th– onesies
6th-7th-8th– blankets
At the end of the month we will have a representative from Birth Choice collect the items and talk to our students about their ministry. Our students are excited and ready to get started.
