SERVICE HOUR ISSUE - FALL FEST
|
Please note that we are having a programming issue with festival hours right now. We are trying to resolve it but please be patient until it's fixed.
Your festival hours are currently showing up as school hours. Don't fret, you will get credit for the fest hours if you turned them in and worked them. As long as they are in the system, you will not be charged. We hope to have this fixed soon.
Please note ALL fest hours (once fixed) will show as fest hours, even if you worked more than 6. The extra will be credited to school but they will all fall under fall fest.
If you have not yet submitted your hours, do so now so that you are not billed!
|
Every Friday after school $1 each! Help 8th grade go to D.C.!
|
Please join us in praying the rosary for the private intentions of our school community that are in the prayer jar at the front office. There are two opportunities each week: Mondays at 2:10 pm with your children or Thursdays at 8:05 am with school parents. Hope to see you there! For more information, please contact: Julie Schneiders, Mimi Stolpe or Tracy Luiso.
"Our Lady is always close to Her children and ready to help when we pray to her, when we ask for her protection... let us remember she is always ready to serve and never keeps anyone waiting". ~ Pope Francis
