Dear Parents,
Congratulations to Holy Redeemer, they collected over 10,000 cans. Our collection was over 7,000 so we averaged about 15 cans/students which is fantastic. The important thing is that between the two schools we collected almost 18,000 cans! But, the real collection is tomorrow. If you didn’t get a chance to contribute today, please remember to put your bag out for the neighborhood collection tomorrow. Thank you, as always, for participating. A special thank you to our former parents, Jessica Walsh, Kate McAuliffe, and Dave and Meredith Ficca who were here all morning to help us organize and pack the cans to go to the Spanish Catholic Center.
Next week we will be resurrecting the Bulldog Brew on the blacktop. For those of you who are unaware, this is an initiative to help raise money for the Giving Tree program at the parish. Fresh hot coffee will be delivered to your car door on the blacktop at morning drop off. Just have $1 ready and the Bulldog Brew volunteers will be happy to bring you a cup and cream and sugar.
This is the last weekend for the Christmas Teacher Fund. Our text yesterday indicated that today was the deadline but the HSA will actually accept contributions through Monday. Please donate here.
Covid is still an ever present concern. Over the past two weeks we have had to quarantine two different classes. We are not sending schoolwide announcements home anymore but we do have information on the Covid page on the school website. Please continue to be as safe as possible while enjoying the Christmas season as much as possible.
Great week here, lots of holiday joy!
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly

Contributions accepted through Monday, December 6th
We encourage everyone to skip the individual teacher Christmas gifts and contribute to the Faculty and Staff Christmas Fund instead! This is THE BEST way to support our teachers and staff!
Donations are managed entirely by the HSA and all the names of those who donate (not contribution amounts) will be given to our faculty and staff, so they will know you were thinking of them.
All contributions are tax deductible. Donation receipts will be provided by the end of January.
Our faculty and staff are working extra hard to educate our children, please show them your support by contributing HERE.
