Dear Families,
This week is all about our Grandparents! Usually, we honor our grandparents the last Tuesday of September with a mass, reception, and classroom visits. Due to the pandemic, we can not hold our usual celebration. However, we can honor our grandparents virtually and plan to do so this week!

Each month students learn a Bible verse and recite it together at school during our morning prayers. We also pray a particular prayer each month. During the month of October, we will learn
Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
Our prayer focus is The Memorare.
We would love for you to work with your students at home.

This Friday we will once again support the Blessings in a Backpack Ministry. Students in K-5 who bring an item for the food pantry can come out of uniform with their spirit shirt on Friday. Students in grades 6-8 who bring an item can be out of uniform on Monday 10/5 due to their attendance at Mass on Friday. The following items are assigned:
PreK - 2: canned veggies and soup
3-5: canned tuna/chicken
6-8: plastic jars of peanut butter/jelly
In addition, the St. Vincent de Paul society let us know there is an immediate need for canned soups, canned pasta, and canned beans. You are welcome to bring in one of those items in place of (or in addition to!) the items listed above. Thank you for supporting our Food Pantry!

Dear Parents and Students,
I planned to have a modified in-person book fair this Fall, but due to some issues with Scholastic’s warehouse workers in our area, it has been cancelled. I am REALLY hoping that by the Spring, we will be able to have an in-person fair again.
I do have a donation program that I would like to let you know about. This program is through Bound to Stay Bound, the vendor I purchase our library books from on a regular basis. These books are made to last, which is why I choose them for our library collection. They have a program that allows me to set up a wish list and parents and students can browse and buy a book or make a monetary donation to help our school add these titles to our collection.
When a book is purchased, you have options for a bookplate to be placed in the book with the name of the donor or in honor of someone, etc. Your child can leave a legacy that will last for many years in our library. All students who check out that book will see the book plate and know that it is thanks to your kind donation.
I also plan to let the donor be the first to check out the new book! So, you will get to read a new book and then so many others will be able to enjoy that book for years to come. It is a win-win!!!
If you have a book in mind that is not on our wish list, please let me know and I can certainly see if it is available and add it to the list. I will be adding the link to the Library website for your convenience. I set a goal and plan to have it run through the school year. If all goes well, I will continue with this program. Bound to Stay Bound makes it very easy for all. It is also an easy way to keep our collection current with titles students really want to read. The goal is ALWAYS to encourage reading.
Go take a look and remember, more can be added to the wishlist!!!
Thank you for your support and have a great day,
Mrs. Mansfield :-)
