iGive Catholic

Thank you to all who donated to our iGive Catholic campaign to raise funds to provide shade for our playground. We are excited to have raised approximately $10,000 of the $15,000 that we need to provide shade for our playground. It's not too late to donate to our campaign, you can send a check or cash to the school. Every little bits helps. Thank you for giving Catholic.

Teacher Christmas Gifts

It is very soon to be Christmas time, and we are reaching out to offer a simple way for you to thank our teachers and staff. PAWS (Parents Active With School), as in years past, is asking parents/guardians to consider donating to the MQ Staff Christmas Fund this year rather than shopping for individual teachers. PAWS is organizing a Christmas gift for our 50 dedicated teachers and staff. This Christmas, avoid the hassle of shopping and make a monetary contribution to the fund that will be divided equally and presented to each member of MQ's 50-member staff.

Your contribution to the group gift is completely optional. If you choose to contribute, you may send money one of a couple of ways: bring cash or a check to the school in an envelope marked "PAWS Christmas" and give it to Mrs. Pedroche, the school secretary. The deadline is 3 pm on Wednesday, December 14th. A PAWS representative will pick up the funds from the school and make sure that the monies get distributed equally among the teachers and staff before Christmas break.

If you prefer to give your own gift to teachers of your child's choice, that is fine too. PAWS is simply trying to lighten your load this Christmas and to ensure that all staff members are recognized for their part in our children's education and success. Help us spread joy throughout the entire school this Christmas.

If you have any additional questions, you can email PAWS Chair, Carrie Isaacs, at carrie.johnson.isaacs@gmail.com

Sincerely,

PAWS (Parents Active With School)

A reminder that all the coupons from the Fall Festival expire on Friday, December 16. We have been a bit lax in monitoring some of our uniform policies as it refers to nail polish and sweatshirts because of the coupons. Beginning in January, it will be back to our uniform policies. If you are unsure about what our uniform policy is, it is listed in our handbook.

Uniforms should be purchased through Shaheens.
