St. Lawrence Fall Festival
The annual Fall Festival returns next weekend, September 24-26. We are so excited to have everyone join in fellowship and celebration of the community and parish of St. Lawrence.
In talking with the organizers, only have 70% of the volunteer shifts covered. I would like to encourage you all to volunteer for our 12th Saint Lawrence Fall Festival. Spend an evening with the family and for part of the time, consider helping out so the event runs smoothly and is enjoyable for everyone. There are still more than 60 spots left to fill for our festival to be a success. 7th and 8th grade students are welcome to volunteer for the Youth Ministry Hot Dogs & More booth or as Food Runners but must have an adult present at the festival during their shift. Attached is a sign up form if you would be willing to help for a few hours over the weekend. https://www.signupgenius.com/index.cfm?go=s.signup&urlid=4090944aead2fab9-2021&useFullSite=true
Reminder: There is no school for the students on Friday, September 24th.

Curricular Material Assistance Form

Summer P-EBT is for all students determined eligible to receive free and reduced meals for the 2020-2021 school year. This issuance is for ALL National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program students and ALL students that attend a Community Eligibility Provision school.

Thank you Sarah Stephens for pointing this out to us. In her research, she wanted me to share this with you. Here is a link with some information: https://www.in.gov/fssa/dfr/dfr-policy-changes-and-actions/pandemic-ebt/
Quite a ways down on that page there is a place to click on if you need to change your mailing address or request a replacement card. Hopefully, you will find what you need and will be pleasantly surprised!
