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)

We are in need of substitute teachers. Do you think you might be interested or know someone who would be interested?  Substitute Application

A few years ago, our School Council began a beautiful tradition of a Father/Daughter Dance. The tradition has continued to grow until it has outgrown our School Council. We would like to continue this tradition but to do so, we are in need of volunteers to help plan our annual Father/Daughter dance, most importantly, we are need of a chairperson to organize the event. The dance is scheduled to take place on February 18th, in the gym. Prior committee members can provide you with the past blueprint to help you get started, and provide you the information for all things needed. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested and able to help plan the event. Without a Chairperson and several volunteers, we will be unable to pull off this annual tradition. 

Please email me at becky.brown@maryqueenschool.org for more information or to volunteer!

Fall Festival Coupons

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.

Volunteers! We need you!
Have you completed a Volunteer Application?
Have you completed your CMG safe environment training? Is it current?
Please log in to your CMG account now and make sure you are certified.
Part of the process includes ordering a background check which costs approximately $25.
This fee will be billed through your FACTS account.

Middle School Sports Opportunities through LCHS

This is a way that you can still support Mary Queen School from home with no extra cost from you. If you already shop at Kroger, please designate your Kroger card to Mary Queen. Snap your receipts from anyplace that sells food for Box Tops - every little bit helps!
