The festival is HERE!

Raffle Tickets - Festival Raffle Tickets and money are due to the office TODAY by 3:30pm. We cannot collect money at the festival. Money not turned in today will be billed to each families account.

Confetti Eggs - We received many egg donations. Thank you so much and keep it coming. You can bring them directly to the school booth so that we can record your donation for service hours.

Volunteers - Please be sure to arrive on time for your volunteer shift. We have attached the schedule below and we still have several available spots to signup. You are welcome to volunteer in another booth (not your child's class). Each booth will have rules and we have arranged for Ms. Pacheco to stop by every two hours to collect bundled tickets. All the booths are TICKET ONLY. Thank you for volunteering. We are a small community and cannot run the games or Bingo without your help!

Talent Show - starts at 4pm on the main stage. All classes are performing. Please bring your children no later than 3:30pm to prepare for the show.

Bingo - starts at 5pm in the large hall. Bring cash and your friends! Big shout out to Ms. Salas and Ms. Vinoya for being on the BINGO Team! Please join us...we need help! :)

All students will have their picture taken for the yearbook on Thursday, September 26. Students are expected to dress in regular school uniform. Picture forms are coming home today but you are encouraged to order online at www.mylifetouch.com and then use this photo ID: CR049251Q0. Families who order online will receive a free gift from Lifetouch/Shutterfly.

(We will have another picture day in the Spring where students can Free-Dress.)

Ms. Anna Hernandez is graciously coordinating another order of spiritwear for our students/families/staff. T-shirts can be worn on Thursdays only. If you are interested in purchasing a t-shirt or a sweatshirt, please complete the order form and drop it off with your money to the office by Friday, October 4. One order form per family.

The art teacher at St. Mary's is running an art program just for our students in grades 2-8. Please see the form in your child's backpack or pick one up from the office. The class meets once a week on Thursdays from 3:30-5pm at St. Mary's High School (Room 12 in B-hall). The cost is $50 per child for each month. Classes begin in October.

This is not a school sponsored event. Please arrange for your own transportation, supervision, and payment schedule.

I am so excited to announce that we will have three counselors/therapists available to our students and families. Through leadership from Catholic Charities and a grant from Sutter Health, three therapists will be assigned to our school and can meet with students regularly (with parent permission). The counselors are also able to provide counseling for families or groups. Permission slips and interest forms will go out next week after the festival.
