Student Council's Box of Joy Project
|
Student Council's new project is
Box Of Joy. Box of Joy is a project with Cross Catholic Outreach. We will fill boxes November 7-11.
St. Peter is teaming up to provide Christmas gifts for those that will not receive a present this Christmas season. Student Council is asking that each student contributes 1 small present that fits in a shoe box and $1 to ship the gifts. Gifts can be $1 or less, and suggestions are balls, race cars, dolls, jump ropes, t-shirts, sunglasses, water bottles, sports equipment, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, hairbrushes, crayons, notebooks, and pencils. Please
NO liquids like bubbles or liquid soap, chocolate (which can melt), army guys, toy guns, glue, and electronics. If you do not have time to shop before November 11, you can send in $1, and Student Council will shop for you.
Students can start donating on Monday, November 7, through next Friday, November 11. Together our goal is to contribute 75 presents. Please help us make that happen.
Cross Catholic provides the boxes so if your family would be interested in your family contributing a box, please send Mrs. Kincaid an email at
skincaid@stpeterjc.org and she can send home a box with your child. I showed the children boxes with gifts that totaled anywhere from $3.50 (notebook, pencils, play dough, a couple small candy canes, a bar of soap, and a small Lego car) to $12 (soccer ball, pump, water bottle, and Starbursts). If you could also send in $9 for shipping, we could provide a lot of love!

remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35

Parking Lot News
Please review the parking lot diagram and drop off explanation attached to the newsletter. Three areas of concern:
1. PARENTS and students should always use the crosswalk to go to and from the school buildings.
2. The FIRST ROW of parking spaces should never be used to park.
3. NEVER pull through the cross walk or use the spaces even with and beyond to park as shown in the diagram.

The pasta orders were sent home with children on Tuesday, November 1. This was not a very successful fundraiser. The pre-school and kindergarten accounted for half of the sales. This is the 4
th year we have done the pasta. The 1
st year did very well; however, it has declined every year since. We will not be doing this particular fundraiser next year.
The Frozen Foods/Cookie Dough Fundraiser will run through November 11. Orders will need to be turned in NO later than Monday, November 14. Pick up of that order is Wednesday, December 7 from 3-5:30 in the school cafeteria.
Orders MUST be picked up at that time. This product is frozen and the school does not have freezer space available for orders not picked up. If any 6, 7, or 8
th graders would like to help with this, please let me know. A couple of young ladies helped with the last pick up and things went very smoothly. The help is much appreciated! You will receive 2 ½ hours of service. It will include locating the orders for parents and maybe helping to carry an order out to a car. There will be some down time when they can work on homework.
Remember to stock up with Scrip for your purchases for Thanksgiving dinner and Black Friday shopping. Scrip will NOT be available the week of Thanksgiving as we only have two (2) days of school that week.
Great Lakes will have some cards available in smaller denominations for the holidays. This will start Oct. 29 and run until Dec. 16 or as long as supplies last. They include:
Amazon--$10
AMC theaters--$10
Applebee's--$10
Barnes and Noble--$5
CVS--$10
Darden Restaurants (Red Lobster, Longhorn, Olive Garden)--$10
I Hop--$10
Panera--$5
Regal Theaters--$10
Starbucks--$5
Target--$10
The last week to order Scrip before the Christmas holiday will be the week of December 12. Orders will need to be turned in on Monday, December 12 by 10:30 a.m.
Generic Scrip certificates will be available again during the Christmas season for teacher, staff and coach gifts. Just send in a note with a check made out to St. Peter Scrip listing how many certificates and the denominations that you would like to have. I will send them home for your child to give to the recipient. The recipient can then turn them in for the Scrip of their choice for the amount indicated on the certificate.

It is that time of year when families begin planning for their time off during the holidays. With that in mind, the Helias Catholic High School dance team known as Helias Dance Explosion (HDX) has traditionally offered a one day clinic during the Christmas break for all girls in grades 2-8. It will be held December 28 in the Helias Catholic gymnasium from 8am-1pm. It is a fun filled day of dancing with team members, games, learning a routine to be performed for their parents and the opportunity to perform at a basketball game at Helias. If you have any questions, please contact me at 573-619-9879 [1] cell or
cpearlmc@gmail.com. Thanks, Courtney McNutt

Playground Renovations and Updates:
SPIRIT WEAR FUNDRAISER
|
We are kicking off a SPIRIT WEAR fundraiser to continue raising money for improvements and renovations of our Preschool and Elementary playgrounds. We would like to be able to remove the mulch from our playgrounds and replace it with rubber padding as well as relocate the preschool playground. Renovations such as this will be very costly, so you will see different opportunities to contribute to this fundraiser throughout the year.
This is a ONE TIME only order and all orders MUST be received by December 1,2016
.
Spirit Wear from these orders can be worn on Spirit Days only. Please see the attached order form for this Spirit Wear order. Samples will be available in the school office for sizing if needed.
All orders will be returned in time to be given as Christmas gifts. If you would like to pick your order up in the school office rather than having it sent home with your child, please be sure to note this on the order form.
If you have questions about the playground renovations, or are interested in helping with future fundraising for these renovations, please contact Lacy Ralston@ 573-636-8922 ext. 329.
