Box Tops!!!!!!!!
We've received our Fall distribution for Box Tops - $146.40. Our Annual Goal is $1,000.
That means we have $853.60 left to go!
The classroom competition is still on, and please remember: the class who collects the most Box Tops will get an Ice Cream Party with ALL the toppings!
Please continue to save those Box Tops, and recruit all family members possible. It really helps the school.
Thank you!!!!

The 2018 Catholic Schools Week branding is: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.
A themed board for each of these words would be ideal! Let us know if you are interested in being a Board Benefactor! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! * All necessary supplies will be purchased by SMS.*

Reminder: Free and Reduced Breakfast/Lunch Program
In case you didn't see the announcements at the beginning of the year, Saint Michael School participates in the National School Lunch Program. That means that we provide breakfast & lunch for students each day, and also that we offer the Free and Reduced Lunch Program.
You can apply for Free and Reduced Lunch Program at any point during the school year. If your financial situation has changed, or you forgot to apply at the beginning of the year: YOU STILL CAN!
Not only do these numbers help our families, but they also determine how much federal funding the school gets for Title I funds, which benefits many of our students. Please help yourselves, and our entire community, and apply today!

Saint Michael School Family's Ducks seek loving home:
3 drakes and a female.
She still lays 3 or four eggs a week, given enough light stimulation, around solstice and now, with the light from a heat lamp in the coop. They live in a coop attached to a large run with old basins and sled saucers as water features. They don’t fly, not because they are clipped, but because they don’t know they can. 2 Swedes (male and female), 1 Rouen (male), 1 Cayuga (male). They have been together since they were a day old and it would be nice if they stay together.
Not for meat!
Please call 802-275-2678 if interested.
