Our Thanksgiving celebration is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 26. We are in need of two pumpkin and two apple pies per homeroom for our feast. Please contact your homeroom parent if you can help out and bring the pies to school on the 26th
Don't Forget!
All Mary Queen parishioners that are receiving the Stewardship rate tuition must complete and return the Time, Talent and Treasure form that you either picked up at church or has been mailed to your home if you did not pick it up at church. You can send your completed form in with your child to school if it is easier for you and we will make sure that the parish receives it. Thanks.

It is soon to be Christmas time, and we are reaching out to offer a simple way for you to thank our teachers and staff. PAWS (Parents Active With School) is asking parents/guardians to consider donating to the MQ Staff Christmas Fund this year rather than shopping for individual teachers. PAWS is organizing a Christmas gift for our 50 dedicated teachers and staff. This Christmas, avoid the hassle of shopping and make a monetary contribution to the fund that will be divided equally and presented to each member of MQ's 50 member staff. 
Your contribution to the group gift is completely optional. If you choose to contribute, you may send money to school in an envelope by Tuesday December 17th, marked with your child's name, attention: PAWS. All envelopes should be dropped off in the school office. Mrs. Pedroche has a box at her desk for all monetary gifts, which will be accounted by PAWS and reported to everyone. A PAWS representative will pick up the funds and make sure that the monies get distributed equally among the teachers and staff before Christmas break. 
If you prefer to give your own gift to teachers of your child's choice, that is fine too. PAWS is simply trying to lighten your load this Christmas and to ensure that all staff members are recognized for their part in our children's education and success. Help us spread joy throughout the entire school this Christmas. 
Sincerely,
PAWS (Parents Active With School)
