Lunch Balance
Parents, please look at your students' lunch accounts. We have students whose accounts are at zero balance, but the students continue to ask the lunch volunteers for lunch "on credit." Our lunch staff don't want to refuse food to students, but also don't want to be taken advantage of. Thank you.

A Miner Minute
On Wednesday, October 23rd we will be partnering with the non-profit A Million Thanks to hold A Miner Minute! For one minute in the morning, we will be collecting proceeds for A Million Thanks.
A Million Thanks was founded by Shauna Fleming in 2004 when she was a freshman in high school. Her goal was to collect and distribute one million letters of appreciation to military stationed overseas as part of her school's community service requirements. That initial goal was achieved in just six months, and both Shauna and the organization were recognized by President Bush in an Oval Office ceremony. To date, A Million Thanks has sent almost 10 million letters to US service members around the world. In addition, the organization also raises funds to grant the wishes of injured veterans and provide higher education scholarships to children of fallen military. To find out more and to participate, please visit
www.AMillionThanks.org
or email
mollygeil@msn.com.
Students will be encouraged to give what they can with any extra change or cash they have in their pockets to give to this great cause!

Remember, the Diocese of Reno has mandatory requirements for volunteering at all Diocesan schools, including Bishop Manogue, and you cannot earn service hours until those requirements have been met. Contact Bonnie Hansen at
bonnie.hansen@bishopmanogue.org
or 775-336-6000 with questions.
Parents will have to enroll in Protecting God's Children through Virtus and stay up to date on monthly bulletins for two years. After the two years, you have completed all the necessary bulletins. This transfers over from any of the Diocesan schools. If you are still receiving bulletins after two complete years, contact Elda Juarez at
eldaj@catholicreno.org
to be removed from the update list.
