A Message from Mrs. Anderson

Dear Families,
I attended the first meeting for principals this week. What an uplifting, positive experience it was for me and those present as our new Superintendent, Kathleen Radecke, led us all first in prayer and then in what our leadership roles entail. The themes for the day were Joy and Hope. One of the quotes I loved was from Pope Francis, who said, “Pray and teach with joy---we learn when there is humor and hope, enthusiasm and joy.” No more meaningful words could have been stated as our teachers and staff prepare for the opening of school on August 21. May we all begin our year filled with the hope and joy of which our Pope speaks!
Due to Construction, The Bancroft Uniform Sale at OLG on Friday, August 11th has been CANCELLED. Sorry for any inconvenience!

First, remember to buy scrip for your school supplies as well as your regular purchases as dollars spent all summer go toward your 2017-2018 contract. Scrip is sold daily from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. in the parish office though not during lunch from 1:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Scrip will again be sold at the school office once school resumes August 21st.
Second, be sure to use your church envelopes to be credited for taking your child/ren to church and to be considered an "in parish" family. Enjoy the rest of our break!
