As you know, Oktoberfest is next Friday and Saturday, October 4-5! Due to set-up for Oktoberfest, we will have altered arrival procedures on Wednesday and Thursday next week. We will also have altered dismissal procedures on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Depending on when the tents are taken down from the parking lot, we MAY need to have altered arrival and/or dismissal on Monday, October 7 as well- we won't know ahead of time, so please be prepared! Carefully read the information below and contact your child’s teacher or the office if you have any questions. As a reminder, we have no school on Friday, October 4.

ARRIVAL (October 2-3, and possibly Monday, October 7)

• Arrival in the alley will remain the same. Please DO NOT use 16th Street to access the alley. Enter the alley from 13th or 14th Street.

• Arrival in the main lot- The parking lot will be unavailable, so we will ask that all cars stay in a straight line on 16th Avenue and pull all the way up (even with the Hartman Hall entrance). We will have several staff members stationed along 16th Avenue to direct families, and help children safely walk into the building. We greatly appreciate your patience!

DISMISSAL (October 1, 2, 3, and possibly Monday, October 7)

• ALL students will need to be picked up in the alley. You should use 13th Street or 14th Street to enter the alley and follow the line of cars until you are on the south side of the school building. DO NOT attempt to enter the alley on 16th Street as this will cause a significant traffic jam. At this time staff members will be present to help all children to their cars. Please check the times below for each dismissal group, and plan your arrival time accordingly.

• 3:00- primary students and older siblings

• 3:10- intermediate students and older students

• 3:15- middle school students

• walkers- the crossing guard will pick the walkers up from Holy Name at 3:15

We will notify you through Jupiter of any unforeseen changes.

We look forward to seeing you at Oktoberfest!

Peace,

Amy Wright

Holy Name School is looking for substitute teachers for the 2019-20 school year. We accept Licensed and Non-licensed applicants for all grades but especially for Middle School. If interested please contact the school office at 317-784-9078. (Experience Preferred)

In-Home Daycare is available for Holy Name Parishioners and School families seeking a Catholic Christian option for childcare located 3 minutes from Holy Name. If interested, please call Lisa Teney at 317-650-7819.

Oktoberfest is our parish festival and will be on October 4 & 5, 2019. Parish festivals require a lot of volunteers to be successful. Please consider volunteering in an area that you feel utilizes your individual gifts and talents, which greatly benefits our parish and school. It is a rewarding experience to volunteer alongside your fellow parishioners and is a great way to meet new people. We ask that each school family either buy or sell at least one Oktoberfest Raffle Ticket no matter how many students that you have at Holy Name School. Raffle tickets are $100. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold! You can also check with friends and family and go in together to buy a ticket. Each family who buys or sells at least one ticket will get an entire week out of uniform during the week of Oktoberfest for all of their students. Raffle tickets can be purchased through the School office.

If you are having trouble selling a ticket, please call Lisa Teney for leads. 317-650-7819

The Holy Name Oktoberfest is only a success with everyone's help! Volunteering at the event is fun and a really great way to get to know other school and church families. The link to the Oktoberfest Volunteer Sign-up Genius is now posted on the Holy Name Oktoberfest website at https://www.holyname.cc/oktoberfest, or directly at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D44AFA728A3FB6-holy1.

Oktoberfest volunteers are still needed -- especially in the Food and Kids Zone areas on Saturday night. We currently only have about half of the number of volunteers needed to run a successful event. Please prayerfully consider signing up to volunteer today!

The Oktoberfest Kids Zone is also in need of candy donations. Please send any candy donations to the school or parish offices (labelled for the Oktoberfest) by this coming Thursday, October 3.

Also, please be aware that there will be no tickets necessary for any of the Oktoberfest Kids Zone activities at this year's event. Instead, wristbands will be sold for $15/one night, or $25/two nights. Wristbands will give kids unlimited turns in the outdoor bounce houses, game truck, and school playground. No wristbands will be needed to play the kids' games that are part of the Health & Safety Fair; however, wristbands will be needed to win prizes. Wristbands are not available in advance of the event (such an option in the past only resulted in many lost wristbands!), but they can be purchased during the event at the Ofest Ticket Booth.

The Oktoberfest Food Committee is in need of large electric roasters for our upcoming festival on October 4-5. Please consider letting us borrow yours for this huge event! The sizing would need to be greater than 18 quarts (22 quarts would be preferable). You can drop these off, labeled with your name and phone number, to the Parish Office, the School Office, or after Mass to anyone selling tickets or t-shirts. Prior to dropping it off, please contact Robin Prendergast at 317-443-6855. You will be contacted after the Oktoberfest to have your roaster returned to you. Thank you in advance for your support!

Every other year, 20,000+ Catholic young people and their chaperones come together to pray, learn, and grow in their faith at the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) in Indianapolis. This year’s conference will be held November 21-23 at the Indiana Convention Center and Lucas Oil Stadium. As the host diocese, we need 1000 volunteers throughout the three days to serve in a variety of roles. A complete list of volunteer needs including descriptions, requirements, shifts and times can be found at: www.NCYC.info/volunteer.

Extended Care is a pre-pay program. Please check your child’s balance and pay accordingly.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with us!

Blessings,

Mrs. Miller

Extended Care Director

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to be a room parent! We are still short on room parents for PK3, 3rd, 6th and 8th grades. Many of the staff are being room parents for each other, so we need enough volunteers to cover the classrooms. Everyone who volunteered for the school year should have been contacted by Lisa Rizzi by email. If you have not heard from her, your message may have been lost in the shuffle between Jupiter, the office and Lisa. Please contact her at Lisarizzi@hotmail.com or 317–441–4068. Thank you for supporting your Giants!

Box Tops for Education is a major fundraiser for Holy Name School. If you haven't noticed yet, the clippable Box Tops are being replaced by images that remind you to scan your receipt. NOTE: You need to download the App and only have 14 days to scan your receipt. It is super easy! 1. Download 2. Choose Holy Name School (easiest to find by searching by zip code 46107) 3. Scan receipt. You can scan all receipts, whether you think purchased select products or not. It will automatically calculate and add the earning to Holy Name's account in real time. Since I didn't know this last month, I have a handful of new box tops and no receipts to prove it. If I did find my receipts, it would be too late (you only have 14 days!). Good News: Not all products have completed the Box Top transition, so for the next 2 months, it is possible to clip box top AND scan a receipt and Holy Name will earn double

Attention all Pre K and Kindergarten families: We need a shot record on file for you student. Please send it in or fax it to us, 317-788-3616.

NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR 7TH AND 8TH GRADE STUDENTS-

Thank you!
