SAS Update
September 27, 2019
THE WEEK AHEAD!
Choir/ Guitar
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 10:30-11:30 a.m.
Choir for 4th-8th grades has begun and will take place two Saturdays per month from 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. Choir members will participate in the monthly Family Mass the first Sunday of every month. Don't forget, everyone who joins will receive FREE guitar or bass lessons during the second half of the hour! Bring your guitar, and be sure to send in your registration form, which can be printed from the link above. Please drop off your singers at the Extended Day door (C3).
Parent Meeting
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 11:30 a.m.
All parents and Confirmation candidates will meet after 10:30 a.m. Mass in Church to go over the calendar and expectations for making the sacrament on May 7, 2020. We would love to have everyone join us at 10:30 Mass, too, but understand that some of our students have commitments at other Masses. Don't forget to come back if you've attended a different Mass this weekend!
TRIP Orders
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30
Don't forget to send your TRIP orders in every Monday morning, and watch those tuition credits grow! If you haven't already registered, feel free to send in your blue registration form with your first order. Your gift cards will come home with your student on Thursday in a brand new TRIP envelope that you will then use every time you order. Happy shopping!
Early Bird Discount on Yearbooks
Order your 2019/20 yearbooks by September 30 and get 15% off the $25.00 regular price! Go to www.treering.com/validate and enter our St. Ann School code: 101378829749327. If you like to customize your two free pages, you do not need to do so at this time--you have most of the school year to accomplish this, so no pressure other than to save money!
We are already working on the current yearbook, so if you take any photos that you wouldn't mind sharing with us, we would love to have them. Field trips, classroom parties, sports candids, and other events, we always need these!
Please email your contributions to yearbook@stannschoollansing.org.
VOLLEYBALL SIGNUPS
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3 & MONDAY, OCTOBER 7
7:00 p.m. in the EXT. DAY ROOM (C3)
It's time to register your 4th-8th grade girls for volleyball! The program for Grades 4-5 is developmental in nature and focuses on building foundational skills. In Grades 6-8, the play becomes more competitive in nature, allowing students to hone their physical skills and prepare their minds and bodies for high school competition. Rosters need to be set, so it is very important to attend one of the two evenings. If you wish to download and pre-fill the paperwork, you can find forms here, under Athletics. Checks should be made payable to the St. Ann Sports Committee. FMI, call coordinator Robert Dabrowski, 708-418-5061.
Are You Sending in Your Stracks Receipts? Please ask others to save them for you too!
Every Classroom Has a Collection Envelope, and we will be tallying the value of the receipts turned in. The class that brings in the most will win a prize!
Mark Your Calendar for Special Persons' Day
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11
Who is special to your child? A grandparent, aunt, uncle, a neighbor, YOU? Every student is invited to bring a special guest to school! We will attend a special Mass, our Scholastic Book Fair will be in full swing, and the students will have some fun things to show their special people. This will be an early dismissal day. Stay tuned for the day's schedule.
THE NEXT GENERATION OF BOX TOPS
Box Tops is changing to fit today's families. The new and improved Box Tops mobile app uses state-of-the-art technology to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school's earnings online.
MORE CONVENIENT: Redeem anywhere, anytime within 14 days of purchase
REAL TIME: Our St. Ann earnings are automatically updated online
EASY TO USE: No more clipping or sending Box Tops to school (once all remaining Box Tops printed on packaging have been redeemed, they will no longer be printing them)
EXTRA CASH: Access special bonus offers on top of your Box Tops earnings
A NEW WAY TO TRACK BOX TOPS PARTICIPATION!
Now when our families use the Box Tops app to scan their store receipts, they can "Give Credit" to an individual, classroom, or grade level. To "Give Credit" make sure you have the latest version of the Box Tops app, scan your receipt, then tap the star icon to enter your "Give credit" memo. Box Tops Coordinators can then download the earnings report on the Box Tops website so we will be able to again hold Box Tops classroom contests!
Still have Box Tops clips at home? Send them to school now so Mrs. Farmer can submit them by the fall deadline. All unexpired Box Tops are still valid and will count toward our St. Ann School earnings.
Traditional Box Tops clips are being phased out of production, but may continue to be found on many products throughout the store. You can still clip and send them to school. Every valid Box Tops clip is worth 10ยข for St. Ann. Make sure each one has a clearly visible product acronym and expiration date.
