Notes from the Principal
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
From all of the staff, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and hope that you have a special Christmas season. The joy that the students bring to us during Advent is contagious and they truly do help us to remember the true meaning of the season. I know the staff enjoys the Christmas break as a chance to be with their families, but I know that once Christmas is over we are ready to be back with the students. We look forward to the students returning on January 5th!

Gala - Silent Auction Help
Lezli Pelzer (pelzer@q.com) and Mariana Rossoni Serao (rossoni.serao@gmail.com) are asking for help. Please follow the link below to sign up for businesses you'd feel comfortable visiting to ask for a donation for the St. Cecilia Gala Silent Auction. It is always helpful to have a personal connection to a place so if you are a frequent customer or know an owner or manager please consider asking them for a donation. Even if you only want to visit one or two that is still a big help! Also, if you have new ideas for items or places to visit please contact Lezli or Mariana. Think of it as a treasure hunt for grown ups and have fun!
Gala - Live Auction Help
We are looking for new ideas and venues for the 2015 Live Auction. Please contact Mindy Stahr (patandmindy@hotmail.com or 515-450-1037) if you have ideas. We are looking for accommodation in fun places to put with our packages. Right now we are particularly looking for accommodation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
