PSO NEWS
Monarch Mondays
Monday, January 25th will be our first Monarch Monday for our in-person learners! Like Spirit Day, you may wear your Monarch Mondays shirt or hoodie to school with the bottoms of your choice, following the school's policies. We would love to see our remote Monarchs in their shirts too! There's still time to order a t-shirt or hoodie from Ink'd Threads' online store...we'll be wearing them every Monday in the 3rd and 4th quarters! If you don't have a Monarch Mondays shirt, please wear your uniform.
This week's featured Maroon-level sponsor is the Bannister Family! Look for a thank you and photo of the Bannisters on social media on Monday.

Volunteers Needed - Room Parents
The PSO is looking for volunteers to serve as room parents for the remainder of the school year. We need one parent per homeroom from PK to 8th. We still can't have class parties or volunteers on campus, so everything will be done remotely, and may be done in the evenings and on weekends. Your main responsibility will be helping the PSO spread information by emailing your homeroom. For those grades celebrating Sacraments (2nd) and Promotion (8th, with some help from 7th), you will be asked to help plan a treat for the kids in addition to the regular sharing of information.
If you are interested in serving as a room parent, please email PSO Co-Presidents Molly Pryzwansky and Tina Korzeniowski and let us know what grade and homeroom you are volunteering for. All volunteers are welcome, but this is a great opportunity for working parents (and dads!) who ordinarily can't serve in such roles. We would also love to see first-time volunteers!

Gift Card Donations for Catholic Schools Week
During Catholic Schools Week, Wednesday's theme is "Celebrating the Faculty" (February 3rd). To show our teachers some love in a socially-distanced way, the PSO is collecting gift cards to be given to faculty as prizes and treats on that Wednesday. If we have leftover cards, we will use them for Teacher Appreciation Week in May.
Please sign up if you would like to donate a gift card in any denomination to any restaurant or store. The most helpful donations will be to coffeeshops, places where they can grab lunch or dinner, or a store like Target or Amazon. For example, $5 to Wake Zone Coffee House or Starbucks, $10 to Chick-fil-A or Panera, or $25 (or up, or any amount) to Amazon. This is also a good opportunity to support a local business! If you donate card(s), please have the amount labelled on the card itself or the sleeve, and send in to school with your student in a sealed envelope labelled "PSO" by or before Monday, February 1st. If you have an online learner, please contact Molly Pryzwansky to arrange a delivery.
