Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 1 Corinthians 12: 12
August 26, 2016
Dear North Community Catholic School Parents:
Welcome to the end of another week! We have a special event coming up next week on Thursday, September 1. It is our annual open house night for parents. I strongly encourage everyone to attend as you will receive valuable information about what to expect during the coming school year. We will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Stoiber-Holzer gym with a brief presentation. Following that presentation, the teachers of grades 6-8 will stay in the gym and do their parent presentations there. All other teachers will present to parents in their classrooms. This event is for parents only. We are looking forward to seeing you there.
Tonight is our first ever color run! This event is brought to you by our Parents' Association. The run will start at 6:00 and is followed by hotdog dinner. This is a really fun way to begin our school year and bring our school community together. My thanks to everyone who worked hard to pull this event together!
This newsletter always contains a great deal of important information. For example, there are new requirements for adults volunteering in the building when students are present. Be sure to scroll through the whole letter and click all of the links!
Have a wonderful weekend! See you at the color run!
Peace and Blessings,
Mrs. Beth Strbik
Principal

Affirmations
"We are one body in Christ"
|
There have been some great acts of kindness displayed so far this year. A student dropped his supply box and Olivia Sims did not hesitate to help pick the supplies up off the floor. Food was left on a lunch table and Cameron Maciejewski picked it up and threw it in the garbage so the lunch crew could wash the tables. Jerry Dupont helped a classmate pick up his supplies after they were spilled all over the floor. It is so great to see our students step up to serve others.
Liam Krouse found money in a library book and turned it in!

Fall Sports Sign-Up Change

Sign-ups are done electronically with instructions posted under the website listed above.

SCRIP
|
Shopping for groceries, filling the tank with gas, eating at a favorite restaurant....These routine things we do every week have proven to be a great way for Blessed Sacrament parents to shave off money from their child's tuition. You purchase gift cards or certificates from places you shop at anyway and the discount goes back to your child's tuition. More than 200 local businesses participate in the SCRIP program. Families who purchase the certificates can designate that their portion be applied to their tuition bill. To purchase SCRIP, contact Katie at [email protected] or phone her at 419-438-0476.
