Dear Parents,
What a wonderful Catholic Schools celebration we enjoyed last week! There are so many elements of our school that make it a wonderful place-our students, parents, faculty, staff, priests, and the entire parish community!

Each month students learn a Bible verse and recite it together during our morning prayers. We also pray a particular prayer each month.
Our Bible verse focus for the month of February is: Matthew 6:33
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Our prayer focus is the
Act of Contrition.

|
The Month of the Holy Family
|
|
We are so proud of the spirit of giving among our students and families. During our recent Math-a-Thon our students raised $5,473.00 for the patients at St. Jude Hospital. This is amazing!

Last Monday, the Archdiocesan Spelling Bee took place at St. Pius School. Our school winner, Michael Linares represented us well!

American Heart Association
|
|
Representatives from The American Heart Association will be on campus this Thursday (2/6) to meet with students in grades K-5.
|

We will once again support the Blessings in a Backpack ministry on Friday with our Food Pantry Day. Students donating an item may come out of uniform with their spirit shirt. The needed items are as follows:
PreK-2nd: canned meat/tuna
3rd-5th: canned soup
6th-8th: canned vegetables
|
|
Students in grades PK-5 will have Spring Pictures taken on February 13. This will be an out of uniform day for students in PK-5.
|
|
Please note, the Iowa Test of Basic Skills will be given to students in grades 2-8 on March 18-27. Please do not schedule appointments, vacations, or other activities during these testing dates.
Our school, along with 4 other Archdiocesan schools, has been chosen to pilot a special portion of the IOWA test that is computer-delivered. Students in grades 3-8 will pilot this portion beginning next week during their scheduled computer time. This will not take the place of the testing the students will complete in March, nor will it have any bearing on their testing results.

We are in the midst of the flu season. We have been busy sanitizing classrooms and other common areas. When children do not feel well in the morning,
PLEASE KEEP THEM AT HOME. While it is admirable that they would want to "try to make it through the day," they run the risk of possible infection to others. Children who have had a fever greater than 100 degrees, vomiting or diarrhea should be kept at home for 24 hours after their temperature has returned to normal and there is no more vomiting or diarrhea. Students with fever, vomiting or diarrhea will be sent home.

Please do not pull into our main parking lot during carpool times
(7:20-7:55). If you are not following our carpool procedures, then you must park in the parking lot behind the rectory or on the corner of Evergreen and McKenna. If you do park, you must walk with your child to the school building. Please adhere to these rules. This is for the safety of all of our students
