THURSDAY - Proceeds will go to a cancer patient

We are sending this request for lots of prayers for the Padgett family, who are friends of an 8th grade students' family. Eric Padgett, age 36, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Doctors have given him 3-6 months to live with out treatment and possibly up to a year to live with treatment. Eric has been a firefighter since 2003 with Sonoma Valley Fire and Rescue. Eric and wife Jessica have been married for 18 years and have 4 children, ages 8, 9, 12, and 13. All are students at St. Francis Catholic school in Sonoma. All proceeds will go to the family to help with any expenses while Eric goes through treatment. NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE.

The St. Rose School Web-site is currently under construction.
The NEWLY designed and improved website is set to launch soon! Not only will it be the same place parents should go to see important information, but it will be a great recruiting tool for prospective new families.

In the mean time, please be patient with us as we complete the upgrades. We hope to have it launched by the next Wednesday Newsletter. ( www.strosecatholicschool.org )

A Note from Mrs. Ryan

Dear Parents,

We are anticipating a fabulous evening this Saturday at our annual Crab Feed. I so appreciate all of you who are assisting our chairperson, Lisa Piehl, to make this event a big success. If you have not yet had a chance to support this fundraiser, there are still some things you can do:

·          There are limited tickets still available. Call the school office to reserve yours.
·          Although the student raffle tickets were due today in order for the class to get a reward for 100% participation, it is not too late to sell the tickets that were sent home with your child. There are some really great prizes including Principal for the Day.
·          The sign-up genius is pretty full and it is essential that you follow through on any of the commitments you signed up for. There is still a need for some help with serving. 

Again, thank you for your generous donations and your hard work. The theme baskets that were put together by each class are really lovely. A highlight of the live auction is a dinner at the St. Rose rectory with a menu of Indian cuisine prepared by Fr. Michaelraj with the help of St. Rose faculty members. There are high-end Warriors tickets, a Safari West overnight adventure, a Country Summer package and pretty much something for everyone.

I am looking forward to enjoying your company and some delicious food on Saturday night. See you there.

Sincerely,
Kathy Ryan
Principal
