Dear Families,
I've often heard people mention that if we didn't have such volatile weather in Minnesota we wouldn't have anything else to talk about. I'd argue that isn't the case, but it does seem to take up some portion of time with many of our conversations. One of the things I appreciate about my drive in to work and home from work is the time allowed for reflection or to listen to various types of radio stations. This morning on my way in I listened to the principal of Jackson County Central High School Larry Traetow on WCCO. He was being interviewed by Dave Lee on his morning show because this weekend JCC is postponing prom due to the weather. In all of his years in education he mentioned this has been one of the hardest springs to accomplish anything.
We know it's one thing to postpone an outdoor spring activity, but when an indoor event, like Prom gets postponed, I think we've crossed a new threshold. I hope everyone is somehow finding a way to patient and we all hope this weekend's impending storm is the last of the year.
With that in mind, we have our volunteer meeting scheduled for this Sunday at 4pm. Depending on which outlet or weather model you look at, by that time Sunday we might be clear of the storm, or not. So, we'll keep our eye on that but as of now it is scheduled. Please keep an eye for an email late Saturday or early Sunday if you were planning on attending.
I usually end my newsletter by mentioning something about a nice weekend for everyone. I hope you can find a way to enjoy what's coming and perhaps contrarian to some people's belief about Minnesota find something else to talk about, besides the weather!

PS-12 Principal

VOLUNTEERS WANTED- JOIN US FOR AN INFORMATIONAL MEETING
The local Catholic United Financial Council is disbanding, and we have been given the opportunity to start a Catholic United Volunteer Team here at Loyola in its place.
Catholic United Financial, and the local council have a long history of supporting Loyola Catholic School. Over the past 30+ years they have generated thru their programs, grants, and gifts over
$450,000 that has directly benefited Loyola. Our students have also benefited by receiving over
$32,000 in post-high school scholarships.
To continue to receive many of these financial benefits, I am asking you as a parent to consider being involved. Our goal is to combine our current Home and School group with a Catholic United Financial Volunteer Team.
An informational meeting will be held on Sunday, April 15 at 4:00 PM at Loyola to discuss this opportunity.
SCRIP UPDATE
Scrip Users - LOCAL ORDERS ARE BACK! We have some new volunteers who have offered to help pick-up the local orders. We will be adding those stores (Culver's, Taco John's, Pub 500, Liv Aveda) back into the system. You will see the order option for those stores immediately. We still have a few Casey's $50 cards available, but after the next order on
April 15th
, we will only have Casey's $25 cards available for order. This will be a permanent change. Once again, thank you for your support of the Scrip volunteers!
