“Protect me, Holy Spirit, that I may always be holy!” St. Augustine
As we continue our efforts to “be holy”, the first grade and the sixth grade are teaching us about their classroom saints this week. The first grade class shared facts about St. Therese of the Child Jesus on Monday. The sixth grade class will teach us about St. Francis of Assisi on Friday and have a special presentation. These presentations are done during our Morning Gathering at school, 7:35- 7:50.
Wednesday, Oct. 3 was Pro-Life Tee Shirt Day. Members of the parish pro-life committee shared a short presentation during the Morning Gathering. They are promoting the Box of Joy program which is an annual Christmas gift ministry facilitated by Cross Catholic Outreach. More information will be shared in the weeks ahead.
Safety Kids will be here on Thursday, Oct 4 to share their presentational skills and share a message of drug and alcohol safety. Two of our students, Cadyn Howell and Davis Barbour, travel with students from other schools to do this presentation.
Picture retakes will take place on Thursday, Oct. 11. The original packet is to be returned on this retake day. Those who missed our original picture day will have the opportunity to take a picture, the order form will be needed on that day. Students having a picture taken on Oct. 11 may dress down.
Parent – Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 18, 1:00 – 7:00.
Signing up for a conference is done on line and the Option C portal will open on Monday, Oct. 8 and close on Monday, Oct. 15. Those parents not scheduled by Oct. 15 will be assigned to open slots in the schedule and a notice will be sent to those parents. Directions for scheduling online are given in the STAR today.
There is a 12:30 dismissal on Oct. 18 and bus service is available at that time. There is NO AFTER SCHOOL CARE that day. Please be aware that the car line for pickup will include about 100 more students than normal. Please use all three lanes and pull up as close as possible to the car in front of you so that we can avoid a traffic backup on the highway. Thank you for your patience and extra attention to safety on this day.
It’s a great day in the kingdom of God here at St. Stanislaus School, mainly because you are a part of it!
