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

Dear North Community Catholic School Families,
It is so hard to believe that we are already at the point of distributing mid-term progress reports for the first quarter! All students in grades K-2 are receiving a printed progress report. Students in grades 4-8 normally only receive one for grades that are C or lower, but I believe some of the teachers in those grades printed a progress report for everyone as well. Please be sure to sign and return the progress reports to your child's homeroom teacher.
I have nothing else for you this week. It seemed to go by very quickly! It will no doubt be a busy weekend for our Charger and Saint athletes. I wish them all good luck! Enjoy a restful weekend, and we will see everyone on Monday!
Peace and Blessings,
Mrs. Beth Strbik
Principal

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.
