Weekly Update -- Jan. 13, 2017

|
|
Dear Parents,
I hope you have had a great week. We are in the process of finalizing the activities for Catholic Schools Week. The theme will be “Let your light Shine”. Some of our activities will be a science assembly, a talent show (
Friday morning), praying the Luminous mysteries, and Catholic bingo. All times will be included in next week's weekly update.
Additionally we will have our Run for the Royals
(Thursday
) during the week and our family picnic. The
picnic will be on Tuesday, Feb. 1st – mark your calendar now – last year our families really enjoyed themselves. One of the best parts of being in a Catholic school is the opportunity that we have to grow as a community. I hope you will be able to attend one or more of the activities - we look forward to seeing you.
Blessings,
Mrs. Bogataj

**I have had a few parents stop in and share their frustrations regarding our drop off procedure as it relates to tardies. I will be brainstorming ways to try to work through this, but it’s very important that everyone is following the correct procedure. Please do not stop and drop off your children by the brick pavers or anywhere else EXCEPT the drop off point behind the parish center near the basketball courts. If everyone followed that rule it would definitely help. Thank you for working to keep our children safe.
**It’s that time of year again when we start preparing for registration for the 2017-2018 school year. If you have children who are not with us this year, but you intend for them to join us, please send Mrs. Ewell (
tewell@st-raphaels.com) or Mrs. Tawil (
srsoffice@st-raphaels.com) a quick message with the child’s name and grade. It is our plan to begin registration at the end of the month or early in February.
** THE ANNUAL
CCW RUMMAGE SALE IS COMING. The Council of Catholic Women will be holding their annual Rummage Sale Saturday, January 21st from 8:00 am to 1:30 pm in the Parish Center.

A blessing of being in a small school is that we really develop a sense of community. We are able to help one another through actions and prayer. If you or a loved one is in need of prayer please let me (Kathy Bogataj -
kbogataj@st-raphaels.com) or Bridget Halle (
bhalle@st-raphaels.com) know and we will include a prayer list in our weekly update.
This week our prayers go out to:
- The Shields family as they grieve the loss of Beatriz Crespo, mother & grandmother
