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
December 16, 2016
Dear North Community Catholic School Families:
As you know, our unexpected "cold day" yesterday made it necessary for us to reschedule our Christmas program. The program will be on Thursday, January 5 at 7:00 p.m. in the Stoiber-Holzer gym. Looking on the bright side, it really is a nice reminder that Christmas is a whole season, not merely a day or a few days. Our rescheduled program coincides very well with the Feast of the Epiphany when we celebrate the visit of the three wise men to the infant Jesus.
It is a very short week for us next week with only one and a half days. Please remember that we will dismiss at
11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, and that there is no extended day that day. The buses will run, but all other students must be picked up at 11:30. On this day our Parents' Association provides our annual staff Christmas luncheon. It is always so very delicious and festive, and all of us look forward to this time to celebrate together.
Many of our classes have exciting holiday activities planned in the days before Christmas vacation. If you are planning on participating in any of the classroom parties or activities, please be sure you have completed all of the necessary Virtus certification for volunteers. For more information, please contact Octavia Wayton at
[email protected]
On the last day of school before Christmas we have a very festive tradition at drop off time. If you normally drop off in the back of school, you may wish to pull around to the main line on Bellevue. You don't want to miss the fun! Tuesday will also be a free jeans day for all students!
Have a wonderful weekend! If you are like me, you will no doubt be very busy with holiday preparations!
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.
