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 Parents:

I am sure the children enjoyed our unexpected snow day this past Tuesday!  One of these weeks we might just have a full week of school!  It won't be next week, however, as Monday we celebrate Martin Luther King Day. 
I need to inform all of our families that Mike Rockovich is no longer employed with North Community Catholic School.  He has accepted a new position elsewhere.   Mrs. Octavia Wayton will be assuming the duties of NCCS business manager.  Her office is no longer located here on the MBS campus, but she can be reached at the Regina Coeli Campus.  The phone number is (419) 476-0922, and her email is still owatyon@nccstoledo.org

We have noticed a number of children at lunch requesting, plates, cups, utensils, etc.  We do have a supply of napkins for spills, but we are unable to furnish all of the other tableware.  Please be sure to pack any and all utensils your child may need for his or her lunch.

You can tell it is cold/flu season! Many of our classrooms are running low on Kleenexes.  Students in grades 4-8 can earn a jeans pass by bringing in two boxes of tissues for their class.   If you feel so compelled, you may want to check with your child's teacher to see what she may need replenished.

I hope all of you enjoy a restful long weekend!  See you next Tuesday.

 
  Peace and Blessings,
Mrs. Beth Strbik
Principal

Attention Scouting Alumni
Are you a parent or grandparent with a history in scouting? Pack 88 is in need of Den Leaders and a Cubmaster who can help lead our groups. Requirements: Enjoy helping young men and their families grow in scouting and encourage them on their path; have an excellent sense of humor; be prepared to endure poor singing, bad skits and being the brunt of jokes. A love of service, camping and hiking also helpful. In exchange, you get to mentor and form young men that will lead the world into the future. In exchange for two Thursday evenings a month (1st and 3rd), you can make a great difference to boys in the neighborhood.  Training and guidance will be provided.

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 khoops@emich.edu or phone her at 419-438-0476.


Recycleable Collection Items

"The Environmental Club would like to remind you that we collect the following items to send to Terracycle in exchange for money.  The money earned is used for supplies for our Religion classes and to purchase peanut butter, jelly, and bread for the lunchroom for students who forget their lunch.  We have listed the items acceptable to recycle.  Please send them in with your child.  We ask that you continue saving the items during the summer vacation.  Thank you to those who have been assisting us already."
