A MESSAGE FROM MRS. STALLMANN
|
|
Happy beginning of November!
It’s hard to believe that we are starting our third month of school…and the end of school uniform shorts until spring. If you did not see the Perpetual Rosary that we started in the school for Mrs. Radish and Mrs. Sokup, please look for that and prayerfully consider taking a day or two to pray the rosary with your family while lifting up our two teachers in prayer.
We are still looking for a long term substitute teacher for Mrs. Radish’s classes. Right now I am teaching Science to the 8th graders. It’s been 16 years since I made lesson plans and I am having a ball planning and researching Science again. It does create challenges in my other job as Principal but I am always up for the challenge. This time of year is a tough time to find long-term substitutes as most teachers found jobs in the summer and it’s not time yet for those new teachers that graduate in December. Please keep your ears and eyes open to anyone who is looking for a job in a school and has a love of science and religion.
We have been collecting $3 from our students to help the Tablesetters raise money to purchase turkeys for those less fortunate than ourselves. We are asking our students to “work” for that money by helping out with chores. As an incentive, we will offer a PJ wearing day (or sweats/flannel pants) on November 16 for those who participated. The last day to turn in money for this service project will be
Tuesday, November 6.
With that being said we go right into our Thanksgiving Food Drive. This time of year can be really difficult for people between the colder weather, the start of winter, Thanksgiving and then Christmas time. We work with our students to recognize that these days are not always fun and games for everyone and we want to help try to make them better. Last year, St. Al’s School, Christian Formation families and the parish at large donated over 100 complete boxes for Thanksgiving meals to those in need. That is amazing to see our generosity and how we all come together for a great cause; and we know the need is even greater now. Thank you in advance for your donations to these wonderful service projects.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Stallmann
