Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
I really enjoyed Halloween last week. Thank you so much for making sure the costumes were appropriate. Our students looked awesome and showed so much creativity. It was a super fun day for all of us.
This Friday we have a dollar dress day planned for the Saint Vincent de Paul Society (SVDP.) SVDP is a parish ministry dedicated to serving the poor. They provide food, furniture, clothing, and assistance with rent and utilities for those who may be on the verge of homelessness. This is a wonderful ministry that truly lives out the Gospel message to love and serve others. I am happy that the school can support this important ministry.
If you don't feel like cooking or are hungry for Mexican food, join us at Los Tacos tomorrow from 4-9 pm for our 8th grade, DC trip, Dine to Donate fundraiser. Los Tacos is donating 15% of all proceeds to the DC trip. You must present this flyer for your meal to count. Thank you for supporting our 8th-grade class.
Have a terrific week,
Jennifer

In honor, of Veteran's Day, we will also pass out a prayer card honoring Veteran's that was shared by Student Council.
Students:
All grades - if you show your school pride by wearing your uniform, you will earn an alternate dress day.
Grades 7 - 8, sign up to be a greeter and receive CSF hours.
Join us at BATC Parish Appeal weekend to show our Parishioners how vital this ministry is to our Parish!
