Dear Families,
On Friday, October 26 at 5 pm, St. Rose of Lima will open its doors to the Garden Oaks and Oak Forest community and host its Annual Halloween Festival.
With every festival, we have the opportunity to represent St. Rose, and show them what it means to be part of St. Rose of Lima's Catholic Community. This fundraiser, attended by hundreds of local families, is a chance to show we are fully invested and present in the neighborhood, and volunteer support is our foundation.
I am so grateful to our first classes to reach 100% volunteer participation, students have earned FREE DRESS on October 29, 2018:
Thank you, Pre Kindergarten B (Wasik) and 6th Grade!
It is not too late to volunteer for your class, as well! The next classes to hit 100% will also receive FREE DRESS!
Many of our features need more man power – and we need to show our Cardinal pride. Sign up with your Room Parent TODAY for one hour of service to make this festival the best yet – and show our students how much we support them!
Happy Halloween!
Mrs. Drabek
Principal
