First Fish Fry is February 5, 2013
Once again we will be having our regular Friday Lenten Fish Fry dinners. These fish fry dinners are very important in funding the school. It is important that all families provide the necessary support to ensure the success. Last year we netted $9723.57 money is used for teacher reimbursement for supplies and school support. We would have netted more but had to cancel the fish fry March 2, 2012, because of weather. Our goal this year is to net $10,000.
The first Fish Fry is Friday February 15, 2013.
A complete schedule of dates and classes responsible for workers is below and on Edline. Please note the date your class is responsible for working and ensure you sign up to help. You can e-mail Mr. Brever Kevin.brever@saintpaulschool.net for sign-up.
It is also important that cakes are supplied each week for the cake wheel. This is total profit and helps with our overall profit.
The Fish Fry Committee is composed school parents, parishioners and other parish organizations. The entire parish community is helping support this function.
All of us working together will ensure the financial success of these fish fry's and we will achieve our goal.
Dear (Pre-K, K, grade 8 and 3) Families,
Your class is responsible to provide adult workers for the Fish Fry on February 15th. Please let me know when you can work. You may sign up for the following times:
2:30-4:30 PM 5 adults
4:30-6:30 PM 10 adults
6:30-8:30 PM 10 adults
We also need cakes, pies, etc for cake wheel. If you work and bring in a cake your child will receive two dresses down days (1 for working and 1 for cake).
Please let me now as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made.
Thanks, Kevin Brever
