St. Lawrence Every Friday Note
November 5, 2021
Weekly Update!
Although we should always do this, November is the time we are reminded to think about all of the things we are grateful for. One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is learning about how my students, families, and co-workers celebrate this holiday. My family has always celebrated the day with turkey and football, followed by pumpkin pie and games. I am looing forward to hearing more about how our families at St. Lawrence celebrate Thanksgiving. If you would like to participate, please click this link to share your Thanksgiving traditions with me.

Attendance/Mass Policy
A note to this. If you are late arriving on a Wednesday or Friday, which are our scheduled school mass days, please take your child to the church prior to 9:15 am. Mass is a special opportunity to spend time twice a week with Jesus in worship. It is a part of our school day and one of the truly special opportunities that students enrolled in a Catholic school get to participate in that they would not be able to otherwise. This is considered part of our curriculum. Please make every effort to ensure that your child is in school to be able to be a part of this time.
Covid 19 Updates
For the week of October 30- November 5:
Confirmed Positive Results: 0
Quarantined students: 0
The governor passed an executive order stating that close contacts who have been exposed to a positive Covid-19 case at school will only need to quarantine if they are experiencing symptoms.
School Lunch Box
School meal programs nationwide are experiencing many of the same supply chain issues that have impacted restaurants and grocery stores throughout the pandemic. Our school nutrition team is committed to ensuring students have access to healthy meals each school day. Just as families had to make substitutions on grocery lists last year, St. Lawrence may have to make some last-minute changes to our regular menus, based on availability. We hope parents and students will be patient as we sort through these supply chain issues, particularly with breakfast items such as cereal. PBJ Uncrustables are not available either. The upside? Ingredients for our many scratch prepared foods are more readily available and we've been trying new recipes weekly. We remain committed to providing nutritious and delicious meals so that students are ready to learn!
