TRIP Resumes
Don't forget to send your TRIP orders in every Monday morning, and watch those tuition credits grow! If you haven't already registered, feel free to send in your blue registration form with your first order. Your gift cards will come home with your student on Thursday in a brand new TRIP envelope that you will then use every time you order. Happy shopping!
HSA
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,
7:00 p.m. in EXTENDED DAY
We are putting the finishing touches on the Frankfest prep, as well as looking ahead to our next fun school adventures. When you volunteer, you make everything so much better! Please join us . . .
Math Tutoring
TUESDAYS & THURSDAYS,
7:00 a.m.
Math tutoring will be available every Tuesday and Thursday before school at 7:00 a.m. beginning Tuesday, September 10. Interested parents should please bring their children to the Extended Day door (C-3) by 6:55 a.m. and check them in with Mrs. Hess. Please be extra careful in the Parish Office lot, as a lot of cars are moving in and out for Extended Day drop off.
Religion Book Blessing & Student Council Induction
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 9:00 a.m. at MASS
Parents and friends are always welcome to join us for our weekly School Mass every Wednesday at 9:00 a.m., but this week is extra special! In addition to the annual Blessing of the Religion Books, we will also swear in our new 2019/20 Student Council members. Let's support our young leaders!
Do you have a 3- or 4-year-old at home? Know someone else with a little one
who didn't start PreK yet even though the child is old enough?
SAS PreK could be a wonderful first educational opportunity!

Bring the little ones and join us at our first parent/tot playgroup of the season! Tiny Roughriders meets on Wednesdays in the Extended Day Room from 9-10:30 a.m. All babies and kids not yet in school are welcome to bring their parents or caregivers along with them to play and make new friends!

Bring your guitar, and be sure to send in your registration form, which came home this week or can be printed from the link above.
Our after-school Karate lessons have been postponed. Thank you to everyone who showed interest! We will work on satisfying safety requirements and hopefully launch soon.
Keep Saving Box Tops!
Although the Box Tops for Education program is slowly phasing out the clippable Box Tops, many products still have them on their packaging--as long as they are not expired, we can still redeem them for cash! Please send them in to the school office as you get them. Meanwhile, if you haven't yet downloaded the Box Tops app and begun scanning your receipts, it's very easy, and the credit is applied nearly instantly; plus every receipt you scan in the month of September earns us a chance to DOUBLE our fall earnings check! Find instructions here. While there are still clippable Box Tops on the packages you purchase, we are able to receive credit for them TWICE by scanning the receipt and then sending them in physically!
Head Room Parents
Thank you so much to everyone who signed up to be a Head Room Parent! Your children will reap the benefits, plus, they are so excited to see their moms, dads, and other special people helping out. Our 2nd Grade class is still without representation--if you are a 2nd grade parent, will you please give the idea some more consideration? Head Room Parents automatically receive the full 15-hour volunteer credit for the year! Claim your spot here: 2nd Grade Head Room Parent
