A MESSAGE FROM MRS. STALLMANN
Dear St. Alphonsus Families,

Our Catholic Schools Week ended up being crazy—but not due to all the fun things we did—but due to the weather.  So we will have a “Catholic Schools Week Lite” during the week of February 11 and we will do some of the activities and free dress days that we missed this week plus a bonus free dress day for Valentine’s Day.  A reminder that only on Wednesday does a student need to wear uniform pants.

Week of Feb. 11
Feb. 11 Crazy Socks/Hat Day
Feb. 12 Career Day Dress Day Open House 5-7 pm
Feb. 13 Unity Shirts/uniforms Living Rosary
Feb. 14 Red/Pink/White Day

We did use 3 extra days that we will have to make up.  Right now we are looking at our options but it will probably be a combination of changing back days off to school days and increasing the length of the school day.  We will keep you posted. Just as a reminder, February 4th is still a ½ day of school.

Hope to see you at Fun Fair this afternoon!

Have a wonderful weekend.
