Academic Team
Parents,
Congratulations to you and your children for doing a great job of representing St. Louis School at the Academic Team Meet this weekend. Needless to say, I am very proud of all of the children and always amazed at what they teach me with their earnest efforts, desire to succeed, and competitive spirits. They worked hard, did their best, and no matter what the outcome, behaved in an exemplary manner while upholding the virtues we work so hard to instill in them on a daily basis.
AND they are BRIGHT!
I was over the moon when we won the trophy, but the rewards came in seeing the effort displayed! I am certain God was smiling upon these young people as they so humbly used their gifts to answer the questions.
Bless you all, have a wonderful week, and thank you for allowing me the privilege of spending a bit of time and sharing my passion for knowledge with your young people.
All the Best,
Brenda S. Ratcliffe
Thank You

Thank you for requesting the kits and make a difference for our planet. When you request and use your kits, energy is saved. It's as simple as that. And we're hoping that by the end of the school year, we will have saved 10 million kWh of energy together. Can we make it?

Cafeteria News
We are no longer sending out reminders for lunch balances. If you need to check your child's lunch balance you can do it on-line at EzSchoolPay.org, or by giving us a call or e-mailing us. If you have not put any money in for a while, this would be a great time to do so. We have quite a few negative lunch balances.
Thanks!
