News From Mrs. Bethune:
Thank you for attending parent teacher conferences last week. The teachers had great things to say about the blessings of being able to meet with you. If you did not get a chance to stop at the table and pick up the information on clubs, please see the newsletter below. Clubs will start next week so if you have not signed your child up, please do so in the sign up genius below as well.
On Monday at noon you will be getting a text message from School Messenger asking if you would like to opt in for text messages. This would allow you to get a text message when a notification is sent out from the school. If you want this option, this WILL BE YOUR ONLY opportunity to do it. You will need to type Y to be included as a response to the text message. It should come through on all phone associated with a student.
In honor of the 100th anniversary of Our Lady of Fatima, we will be having an all school living Rosary on October 13th as well as a presentation from Sr. Deanna about Fatima. The students will get miraculous medals from the Bishop of Lincoln as well on this day! We hope this day is extra special for the students and the staff as we honor Mary together.
Just a reminder there will be No School on Monday, October 9th the for all Diocesan Teacher Institute and on Monday, October 16th for the end of the quarter workday for the teachers.
Have a great weekend!
God Bless,
Mrs. Leah Bethune

Once again this year we are collecting Box Tops for Education. Last year we collected a little over 11,000 Box Tops.
This year our goal as a school is 14,000 Box Tops. Over the summer we collected over 1,000 Box Tops, so we are off to a great start!
As the school collects these Box Tops the students will earn the following rewards:
3,500 (25%) – Extra Recess
7,000 (50%) – Music playing during Lunch
10,500 (75%) – Spirit Day
14,000 (100%)– All School Movie and Popcorn in the Gym
Please have your children turn their Box Tops to their teachers or the office.

Encourage your family and friends to save Box Tops for our school. Remember each one is worth 10 cents!
