Dear Morning Star Families & Friends, |
The Diocese has partnered with Health Hero Florida, providers of vaccinations for schools. Health Hero Florida will be offering a Flu Shot Clinic at Morning Star on Tuesday, September 22. The vaccination is free and is a service for all of our students, regardless of any healthcare coverage. You are in no way required to have your child vaccinated. If you would like your child to be vaccinated with the flu shot, please complete the consent form (link below) and return it to school by September 18th.
Remote learners are also included and are welcome to come to school that day to receive the flu shot. A schedule, similar to the one used for picture day, will be created prior to the clinic.
If you would like to take advantage of this service, a parent or guardian must fill out and return the consent form. You may return the form via email to jrodriguez@morningstar-jax.org, fax at 904-721-1040, or send it in with your child. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by email or phone.
Blessings,
|

Monday, September 14th is the new deadline date for the cookie dough fundraiser orders.
PLEASE NOTE:
We implemented a new and improved Online Store and apparently it did not sync with the old store. Students who have already registered will need to re-register at: www.fundshoppe.com. Then they just key in the School ID which is found on their parent letter (2054), fill in the student name and then the student ID which is the # on the top left corner of their order form. This will assure that they also get prizes for all of their orders. If you have any questions, you may contact customer service at 1-864-236-7238

Primary read a story about a boy who visits his dad's building site to help out. We then donned our hard hats and visited our own building construction site. Students were able to ask Mr. Titus (outdoor fitness area project manager) many questions about the project, the site plan and how construction was going. |

You may still clip Box Tops and send them to school. Physical Box Tops clips are being phased out of production but may continue to be found on many products throughout the store.
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER...
- Turn in your box tops weekly. They do expire.
- Be sure to NOT cut the code off. We cannot use it if the code is missing even one of the digits
- Place them in a zip lock bag and send them in with your student.
