Safety First!
Please, please, please.....
-slow down in our parking lots
-watch for students that may be walking in the parking lots
-follow the instructions of our staff directing traffic
-be courteous and safe when driving and parking
-keep the flow of traffic moving during drop off and pick up
-remember that the parking lot exits are RIGHT turn ONLY during drop off and pick up hours.
There are 300+ cars that need to move through, twice a day, every day, and the process goes much smoother when
everyone
plays by the same rules and is extra cautious. Thank you for your increased attention, caution & cooperation!
Sick Day Reminders
Please remember:
students must be fever free and vomit free for at least 24 hours before returning to school. It is imperative that this rule is strictly followed to keep our students and staff as healthy as possible, especially during flu season.

Eugene Seminary Benefit Dinner - March 6, 2016
Please join Mount Angel seminarians for the 7th annual Eugene Seminary Benefit Dinner, on Sunday, March 6, at 4:30 p.m. at the Valley River Inn in Eugene. The reception begins at 4:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the program. Guests will break bread with seminarians at their tables, getting acquainted with the men who will offer the light of Christ to the world. Many of you have watched your seminarians grow into their vocations, through pastoral formation assignments as deacons and, finally,
as ordained priests. These are men our world needs.
