Cardinals Corner | Edition # 17| January 7, 2021

Dear Families,

You are amazing!

We are so grateful for your support as we continue to break records with our Annual Winter Gala Raffle. To date, we have raised nearly $27,000 through our raffle alone - with three weeks to go! Tomorrow, students who have met their $200 goal will be treated to pizza at lunchtime, after we draw for FREE TUITION in February! Don't forget - there will be another Tuition drawing for the Spring Tuition Voucher (Feb.- May) for those students meeting their $300 goal. Check out our additional incentives for raffle sales as well.

I cannot thank you all enough for your generosity. As our sole fundraiser this year, the Gala and its Winter Raffle are truly important to the school and community, and support for them will help us keep our brand new educational building secure, outfit it with new furniture, and of course, enable us to add the Ring Road.

But we still need your help! Students Grades 3 and above are requested to submit a gift card of any denomination to be added to their class projects to be auctioned off at the Gala.

Classes are currently requesting:

Target Gift Cards - 3rd Grade
Amazon Gift Cards - 4th Grade
HEB Gift Cards - 5th Grade
Lotto Tickets - Middle School

We are very happy to welcome our students back to campus this week. We continue to pray for another safe, healthy semester together.

Happy New Year,


Bernadette L. Drabek, M. Ed.
Class of 1975

In celebration of Catholic Schools around the world, St. Rose of Lima joins in the fun with "theme days" to celebrate the best parts of our community near and far.
