Dear Parents,
TGIF!
Thanks for a great full week. We are busy with our Fun Run and if the students meet their goal, they get to duct tape me to a wall! I love doing fun things with the students while helping with service projects or fundraisers. It’s a great way to help build community in the school.
St. Alphonsus is looking for students to become altar servers in grades 5-8. This is a great way to perform service in the school and parish as well. Look for the flyer that will be going out next week about this.
Just a reminder during drop-off and pick-ups in the parking lot to watch your speed. It can be easy to speed in the parking lot, but we do have people that choose to park and walk their child into school and we want it to be safe for them as well. We also ask all walkers to use the sidewalk or walk right next to the fence when walking your child into school to help with safety.
We take safety very seriously here at St. Alphonsus School and one thing we remind students of is to not open doors for adults—even if they know that adult. We need the office staff to know who comes into our school and for what purpose. So if you are at a door and a student looks at you but does not open the door for you; please do not be offended. They are just following our safety rules.
We are starting our first service project in the school, Healing Waters, which is a shower program of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Today we collected $1 for free dress so we can purchase shaving cream and razors. Thanks to everyone that participated
we raised $354.16.
Next month we are asking students to bring specific items in to help with the shower packages we will be assembling later. Please read the flyer for more information.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Stallmann
