Week 2!
The kids are working hard and having fun. We are really excited about this school year!
We wish you all a great weekend of relaxation and rejuvenation.
SUPER RAFFLE Reminders
We are so excited to have SIX cash prizes to offer this year, and hope you have a great time raising money for our school community.
- Please contact the office if you are interested in selling tickets outside Mass on the weekend. It is on a first come, first served basis. There is only ONE family selling per Mass, and you must sign up in the office in order to sell. Thank you!
- PLEASE turn tickets in as you sell them. There is a lot of behind the scenes bookkeeping that happens, and it is easier for everyone if we are able to do the work as we go.
Thank you all for your consideration!
SMS Soccer!
Soccer season is in full swing, and we still have some room on our teams!
Please let us know by Monday, September 18th, if you would like to play.
- Practice is from 3:30-4:30 Mon, Wed, and Friday at the SIT field
- 1-4 grade MUST have a parent/responsible adult present
- Coach Gooley will help parents run drills for the 2-4 grade, and will coach the 5-11 graders.

Calling all Empty Rolls!
What? Yes, that's right, you read that correctly! I am in search of as many empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls as I can get my hands on! I have many ideas for Halloween decorations, as well as projects for Art class. Don't throw that empty cardboard rube away! Donate it to St. Michael School!
Thank you!
Mr. Thies
IMPORTANT Weekly Reminders:
- Free & Reduced Lunch applications: Please apply! If you applied last year, you still need to re-apply this year to continue benefits.
- Drop-off & Pick-up! The parking lot is very busy during this time, so please make sure your children are paying attention and/or holding a hand when heading to the car. Their safety is our number one priority!
- We need your paperwork! If you have not already turned in your Student Paperwork for 2017-2018, please do so ASAP. It is essential that we know the best ways to contact you during the day.

Also, did you know you could get BONUS Box Tops by downloading an app on your phone and scanning your shopping receipts? Give it a try and help us get even more money for the school!
