The PTO thrives because of our wonderful volunteers. We would like to say thank you to all the volunteers who helped at the PTO Used Uniform Sale and Bake Sale this past weekend. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and both events were successful because of your generous volunteer efforts. Hats off to Carolyn Fortes, the Bake Sale Coordinator, whose tireless efforts helped propel the bake sale to new heights!

The previous flyer had an omission by accident! Silver Sponsors are responsible for decorating their tables and are eligible to compete in the "Best Table" competition. Look for the next Silent Auction flyer in next week's Friday folder. Tickets are selling fast!

The St. Louis track team had an outstanding showing at the CYO fall track meet. Overall, the team did outstanding - winning 72 ribbons overall, including 16 first place awards, and 14 third place awards. In addition, the 5th/6th grade came in second place overall! Equally important, our athletes consistently competed with good sportsmanship and displayed an infectious level of team camaraderie. The whole coaching staff will be looking forward to more of the same in the spring meet.

Calling all 1st-8th grade girls! The 2016 and 2017 CCA National Grand Champion Bishop Ireton Cheerleading Team is holding its annual cheer clinic on Saturday, October 28.
