Congratulations to 8th grader Luke Diamond who was selected for our Red Ribbon Leadership Award.
Today our students are hitting the snooze on drugs as they wear their pajamas. Here is a breakdown of the remainder of the week:
Tuesday
Be yourself-Students feel free to accessorize (be sure to remove your accessories during mass).
Wednesday
PK-5th- Superhero/Disney Day
Middle School- Meme Day- Dress up as your favorite school appropriate meme.
Thursday
Red Ribbon Run-Students wear a red t-shirt and athletic wear to participate in the run/walk. There is a permission slip that needs to be returned in for all students to participate. The Run will begin at 10:30.
This day will be a noon dismissal.
There is no school on Friday because of the teacher in-service day.
**Remember with the exception of our Thursday Fun Run, middle school students are not allowed to wear shorts for out of uniform days.

The Memorare.

Parent Conferences and Report Cards
|
|
Parent conferences will be held this evening (10/21) from 4:00-6:30. If you would like to speak with your child's teacher, middle school teachers will be available in the banquet hall, and kindergarten - fifth grade teachers will be available in their classrooms. This should be a brief conference. If you feel you need more time to meet with a teacher, please let them know and they will be glad to schedule a separate conference with you on another day.
Report Cards will not be printed. If you would like to print your report card at home, you may log onto Rediker, choose e-locker from the bar of options at the top of the screen, and then click on the e-portfolio tab. If you try to print from the report card tab on Rediker, it will just print a generic grade report. It is not our actual report card. I sent an email last week with a helpful video link. If you need that information again, please let me know.
The first quarter awards ceremony will be held immediately following Mass on
Tuesday, 10/22. Honor Roll and Principal List awards will be given in grades 4-8. In addition, Christian Attitude recipients for grades K-8 will be recognized during Mass.

As an early Christmas service project, our Archdiocese participates in Cross Catholic's Box of Joy campaign. For many poor children around the world, a box of joy filled with toys, school supplies, healthcare products, a rosary, and the story of Jesus is the only gift they may receive.

Our Disciples of St. Michael will help organize and pack boxes from our school. Each class has been assigned a different item to bring in.

Congratulations to all of our students on a fantastic FundRays Coupon Book Sale!
Our top 3 sellers participated in a money jump during our last Pep Rally. Way to go Parker Dixon, Taylor Manley, and Grayson Betbeze!
Students who sold 10 books or more were invited to The Super Sundae Spectacular hosted by Kraze. We had a blast and enjoyed Mrs. Martin sharing some time with us during the party.
We destroyed our school goal of over $7000 in sales and as a reward, Animal Tales was invited to bring their live animal show to our campus. There were so many amazing creatures that we learned about. It was hard to pick a favorite.
Our Preschool worked really hard and showed outstanding participation. Mrs. Lary’s class had the most sales and celebrated with a fun Popsicle Party on a hot Friday afternoon.
Angel English was our top seller in the Preschool and celebrated in style with her class

The Disciples of St. Michael (DOSM) is our 8th-grade service organization. It is named in honor of Andre Michael Colletti. When Andre was a student at Corpus Christi, he was an example of leadership, service to others, and faith in God. The Disciples of St. Michael are involved in events and activities throughout the school year that reflect these qualities. Each year, the 8th-grade class receives a St. Michael medal and a DOSM t-shirt. The medals are presented by Andre's mother, Mrs. Lorie Colletti. Our 8th graders are pictured with Mrs. Colletti.

The DOSM are selling t-shirts as a fundraiser. The design is pictured on here. Click
