Dear St. Al's Families,
We had quite a turnout again for middle school Grandparent's Day. The church was packed as everyone shared in the joy of the Lord and their precious grandchildren.
The parking on Churchway has become a hazard to you, our families, and the general public. There was a very close call this morning when a parent opened his car door without checking for traffic coming from behind. If the driver, who had just exited out of the gate hadn't been alert, the car door would have been taken off. It is MUCH SAFER for parents to 1) use the car line or 2) park at the playground end of the parking lot and walk up the sidewalk. No one wants an accident to happen, so we all need to do what it safest for everyone. Therefore, I am asking you not to park along Churchway since it is such a narrow street. If someone else picks up your child, pass on the word!
Just a reminder, too, not to enter the drop-off/pickup line at the north entrance near the church doors. Please come in the south entrance near the apartments, and make your way along the fence that runs parallel to Loomis Road.
I am meeting with our Fish Fry Coordinator soon. We are still in need of people to take the lead roles for frying and kitchen coordinator. The training is available now, so let's all do our part. Tuition is based on our sources of income, and Fish Fry proceeds are sizable. Without this revenue source, our tuition will rise more than we wish.
Have an enjoyable long weekend,
Mrs. Wadzinski

Spring Art Sale
Your child should come home this week with an Art Sale Packet!
Some 3K art work will be sent home next week. If you haven’t see it already, please check your child’s backpack for a green plastic bag. Inside the bag is your child’s original piece of artwork, a catalog, pricing information, and some very important instructions about how to order products. When you order, please return the order form, payment, and artwork in the original green plastic bag so that nothing important is lost or damaged in transit. Order forms, payment, and artwork MUST BE RETURNED TO SCHOOL NO LATER THAN
APRIL 3rd! This will help us guarantee that items arrive by Mother’s Day. Home and School hopes you enjoy the increased variety of products available this year! We know your little artists are very excited! As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please contact Jennifer Nencka at
drjennypt@gmail.com. Thank you!
Fish Fry News
Another great week for the Fish Fry with just over 400 dinners served (despite the corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day!) Thanks to all of our volunteers and to our 6th Grade class for hosting. This week is 5th Grade’s turn to host. Since there is no school on Friday, and many families will be on vacation, our need for volunteers will be even greater. If you are able to help, please sign up online using the Fish Fry link on the Parish or School website www.st-alphonsus.org. Also, it’s hard to believe, but we are already halfway through Lent and our Fish Fry season; and we still need to train additional Coordinator/Supervisor volunteers for 2018. In particular we need Kitchen, Kitchen Set Up, Kitchen Closing, Gym Set Up, and Fryers. Please consider training for one of these vital positions by clicking here for the form . Thank You!

As announced in the January 12, 2017 School Newsletter, the tuition and Spanish Tuition payment schedule will change for the 2017-2018 school year so that it is more closely aligned with the fiscal year which begins in July and ends in June.

Fourth Sunday of Lent
Theme: We are children of the Light.
Question for Children: What are the things that Jesus wants you to do as his friend?
Question for Youth: Jesus helped a blind man see—and he helps each of us see the world differently. How do you see differently because you believe?
Question for Adults: Share how you, as a child of the light, in the power of Christ, produce goodness, justice, and truth for the world. What specific actions do you take to do this?
