From the Principal's Desk...

Parents and guardians,

Just a few reminders...

In the next couple of weeks we will be concluding the MAPS testing for grades 3-7.

This Sunday's family Mass will be at 9:30AM and will be highlighted with the National Junior Honor Society induction and the HSA Representatives taking their Oath of Fidelity. Please plan to attend to support our students and parent volunteers.

School Pictures in formal uniforms will be taken on October 23 & 24.

On Wednesday, October 31st, students will be allowed to wear pink shirts in honor of breast cancer awareness. Uniform pants, skirts, or skorts must be worn.

Lastly, it is exciting to see all of the students taking Physical Education classes in our new gymnasium. Finally it is a reality.

Sincerely,

Michael Hackenson M.Ed.

Principal

Bingo at St. Joseph: Help Needed

Bingo at St. Joseph School has been temporarily suspended so we can upgrade our equipment and transition into the new Parish Center. We are also looking for "teams" of parents who are willing to manage the event. Our goal is to have enough "teams" of volunteers so that you only volunteer a few hours every 4-6 weeks.

For the past several years, Bingo has generated significant funds for the school. By creating "teams," our goal is to continue this support while minimizing the time required to oversee the weekly program. Up until now, Sheri Bergeron and her husband Rudy have coordinated the bingo every Friday night . However, they are unable to do so anymore. We are extremely grateful for their hard work and dedication, and wish them well!

REMINDER: A Bingo planning meeting is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, October 24th at 6:30 PM at the Rectory. Please email bboudreau@sjs-webster.com if you are interested in getting involved by coordinating or participating on a "team."
