Dear Families,
This weekend is filled with many opportunities to come together as a community. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Fun Fair this Saturday and the Family Mass on Sunday. The 7th and 8th graders will lead us in Family Mass at 9:00am.
Parent Education Night
: Here at SPN, we offer at least two Parent Ed Nights per school year. Topics presented vary and may cover difficult topics in relation to children's physical and mental health. Tonight's topic is about Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention presented by
Being Adept.
Children are exposed to drugs and alcohol at such an early age. They see it on TV, social media, or public events. Drug and alcohol use and experimentation is prevalent among our youth of today. As parents, we need to learn how to help and educate our children regarding issues they face in today's world. There will be a panel of teens for Q&A tonight. I look forward to seeing you soon.
Fun Fair:
Volunteers are still needed for the Pasta Dinner from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. Please contact chairperson Elizabeth Ferrell at
ejferrel@comcast.net as soon as possible. Donations for the prize booth may be dropped off in the parish or school office by Friday afternoon. Come to SPN for a day of fun, food, and games.
LiveScan Fingerprinting: LiveScan services will be available at the Fun Fair from 11:30am to 1:30pm in the faculty room. You may sign-up
here for available time slots.
Safety Patrol:
Our 6th grade safety patrol officer's main responsibility is to direct traffic during morning drop-off and assist the passengers as they exit the vehicle. Please do not ask the Safety Patrol officers to unbuckle your child from the carseat, get your child's backpack from the trunk or back seat and carry their backpacks to the gate or yard. If you feel that your child needs assistance, please park elsewhere and walk your child into the school yard.
Berkeley Chess: The Berkeley Chess after-school program starts this Thursday from 3:15pm to 4:15pm. This program is available to students in grades 1-8.

Caritas:
The 8th grade is off next week to Caritas. The class will spend a week at Caritas Creek in Occidental and experience team building, outdoor education, and spiritual growth. This is a very special time for our 8th grade and we wish them a safe, fun and spiritual journey.
