SAS Update

THE WEEKS AHEAD
Supper Club
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17,
5:00 - 9:00 p.m.
This one is a biggie--Chipotle in Munster returns 33% to us! Vouchers came home in last week's Thursday envelope and church bulletin, and may also be printed from our website. We do realize this is the same evening as the Parents' Night Out, but it does start early enough for those who would like to do both. Take the kids to Chipotle, and then dinner is done!
Join Us!
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17,
7:00 p.m. at BENNY'S PLACE
We have reserved the party room at Benny's Place, 2549 Glenwood Lansing Rd., Lynwood, IL for our very first St. Ann Parents' Night Out! You'll have a chance to see old friends and make new ones in a social setting outside of school and at night, grownups only! Light appetizers will be served, along with a cash bar. Must be 21 or over.
Early Bird
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18 AFTER 10:30 a.m. MASS
If you haven't turned in the Pot of Gold tickets that you already paid for at registration, you can still bring them to any Mass this weekend to qualify for this next $500 Early Bird prize. You can't win the $500 if your ticket isn't in the drum!
Congratulations PreK & 8th Grade!
Both PreK and 8th Grade ended up with 80% participation in our Ice Cream Social Box Tops challenge. They will have their tasty treat together on Tuesday, November 20.
Don't stop clipping--we'll announce the next challenge soon. Ask your friends and relatives to save Box Tops for you, too!
