| As a Catholic school community, we believe in the uniqueness, dignity and potential of every student. Following the life and example of Jesus Christ, we strive to build character while teaching compassion. By strengthening our students in spirit, mind and body, we prepare them to lead lives based on faith, values, and learning. |
Our school depends on the support of its families. The auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Proceeds of the auction are being used to enhance our current security system. Being able to do this depends on ticket sales and auction bids. If you have already bought tickets, THANK YOU! If you haven't bought them, please buy yours today! Invite your family and friends. Share the auction information on your Facebook page. This exciting event is open to all adults 21 and over! We have an amazing school but we can't make it more amazing without Y-O-U!
Reservation forms are in today's Tuesday folders. Tickets are $50 each or $90 for a pair and may be purchased at the school or by visiting our website www.scsauction2018.org.

EDP DOOR USAGE REMINDER
As a reminder, the EDP door should only be used and accessed by parents who are using EDP. Parents should escort their student(s) both entering and exiting the building through the EDP door. Students should not have access to the code for security purposes.
Students staying after school for sports, art, robotics, extra help, etc. will be escorted to the curb at the time of dismissal.
APPLE WATCHES
More and more Apple Watches (and other smart watches) are finding their way into school. For now, they are not posing a problem but as the technology advances, these watches could pose serious distractions to the learning environment.
It is up to teacher discretion to ask a student to remove their watch, if it becomes a distraction.
If your child wears a smart watch to school, make sure it cannot connect to the internet and is not attached to a phone. If the watch does have the capability to receive texts, connect to apps or surf the internet, it will be classified the same as other electronic devices and will not be permitted at school. The policy concerning smart watches will be evaluated this summer for any necessary changes next school year.
YEARBOOKS
We have 50 yearbooks left....don't miss out on this year's yearbook! The cost is $34.24 (including tax). Please send all payments to the front office. Yearbooks are available on a first come first serve basis and payment is needed in order to reserve your copy. Yearbooks are expected to arrive mid-May.

A MESSAGE FROM CUB SCOUT PACK 788
Pack #788 has made Summerville Catholic School our home-base for many years. Anyone in kindergarten to fifth grade may join. Cub Scouting is fun! No matter what grade you are in, it can be a blast. Do you like to learn by doing? This is just the place. You can learn to tie knots, set up a tent, or shoot a bow and arrow. Have you ever cooked a meal on a campfire, sent a secret code to a buddy, built a birdhouse, or hiked? In Cub Scouts, children and their families have fun and adventure in a program that builds character while instilling values.
We recently went camping at Huntington Beach. We slept outside for two nights near the beach, sang songs, performed skits and raced sailboats that we made. We also performed a service project and cleaned up nearly a mile of shore of debris. Please stop by and check us out or email the pack at the following email address:
pack788cubmaster@gmail.com.
