A MESSAGE FROM MRS. STALLMANN
Dear Parents,

I wanted to use this news note to update you all on Mrs. Sokup and Mrs. Radish. Mrs. Sokup has been moved out of intensive care but will require some more surgery. We will continue to keep her in our prayers.

Many families have reached out to me about wanting to start a fundraiser for Mrs. Radish. I did reach out to her about that request and Mrs. Radish respectfully declined those offers. She would like it if the school families could start a perpetual rosary in her name. This would be where families would sign up for a day to say the rosary at home. And we could have the school/classes sign up for days as well. I think this is a wonderful idea and I know that Mrs. Radish takes great comfort in knowing that prayers are lifted up in her name. She also shared with me that she will start chemotherapy on October 29 and she would love to know that this rosary has been started and is happening for the next 8 months if possible. I also think we could use this platform for keeping both Mrs. Radish and Mrs. Sokup in our prayers. I welcome your thoughts to this idea.

We are currently searching for a teacher to fill in for Mrs. Radish's class for the remainder of the school year. Help us spread the word and send any leads to my email at

Sincerely,

Mrs. Stallmann
