Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
This Friday is the Gift Gathering party hosted by Sergio and Tiffany Alfaro. (A huge thank you to the Alfaros for opening your home to us.) This kick-off party to the Red Tie Ball is a chance to gather for great food, cocktails, and socializing. Guests are asked to bring a gift or to make a monetary donation for the Red Tie Ball. Come join the fun and support your child's school!
We've heard from several of you that you miss the old parent directory. We have figured out a way to print a directory from the portals. If you would like one, stop by the office where we will have them for sale for $5. Before we do this though, we want to make sure that you've had the chance to make sure that only the information that you want available is on the portal. Our directory will only contain the information that you allowed so please double check your portal.
(If you've forgotten how to do so, here is a link with instructions:
Portal Instructions.)
Starting on January 23rd we will have the directories in the office for purchase. Please bring the correct amount of money because we cannot make change in the office.
Sometime today you will receive an email with your re-registration information for next year. Please respond by January 26 so that we can save a space for you.
With Open House coming up and anxious new families looking for spots we need to be able to know how many spaces we will have available. If you do not receive the email, let Karen Conley know.
Have a wonderful week,
Jennifer

Here are some announcements for the month of January. Falcon's Nest will be closed on Monday the 16th for Martin Luther King Day. The school and Falcon's Nest will also be closed on Monday the 30th. Just another reminder, Falcon's Nest will always be closed if the school is closed for holidays.

At St. Philips, we have two opportunities each week to pray the rosary: Mondays after school (parent and student led) from 2:10-2:30 pm and Thursdays after drop off (parents and grandparents) from 8:05-8:25 am. We pray for all the private intentions in the school prayer jar by placing the jar in front of the tabernacle when we pray. We encourage you and your children to place your prayer intentions in the jar and welcome you to join us whenever you can for this powerful prayer time in the church. Please don't hesitate to contact Julie Schnieders (jjschnieders@yahoo.com, Mimi Stolpe (mimi_collins@yahoo.com)or Tracy Luiso (tracyluiso@gmail.com) with any questions.
