St. Rose School Fall Festival   This FRIDAY - Sept. 30th

We want to thank our school community for the huge showing of support for our first Fall Festival. We didn't know what to expect coming out of COVID, but we have reached capacity and can no longer accept late reservations. And unfortunately there are no drop ins.

The PA committee is still in need of volunteers. If you missed out on getting your reservation in, why not come join the party by volunteering to help make this event a success. 

Help is needed for:  Serving Dinner, Game Booths, Clean Up - without parent volunteers we can't hold events like this.  Please consider signing up today!!  What a fun way to earn those service hours!!

All volunteers must be compliant with Diocese volunteer requirements

Dear St. Rose Parents,

Fall officially started last week. How often do we stop and see the beauty in God's hand, only when leaves change color? 

Just like the changing leaves, we will have some changes on campus. Our beloved preschool director is moving on. 

We will miss her and all her efforts to make St. Rose the best preschool. We thank Miss Claudia for all her hard work, especially during tough times. She was instrumental in rebuilding the preschool after it burned down, running it off-site, and staying connected with the parents during the Tubbs fire. 

Let us take in the season's beauty and wish Mrs. Oseguera the best in her next adventure. As we go through the hiring process for a permanent director, we will have a qualified interim director in place, so please continue to pray for us.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the Fall Festival on Friday evening. The Parent Association has some fun fall activities planned for the kids, baskets to raffle that are kid themed, dinner for all, and of course the many St. Rose families who RSVP’d who will share in all the festivities.

Volunteers are still needed to make this event a great success. Please click on the signup genius link above and help out our Fall Festival committee members who have planned such a great family event.

God’s Blessings,

Kathleen

Friday Prayer Service at 8:15AM 

All parents are welcome to join us on the playground

VOLUNTEER COMPLIANCE - NEW COVID UPDATE FOR VOLUNTEERS

EFFECTIVE SAT. 9/17, CDPH has RESCINDED the health order that required volunteers on

K-12 school campuses to be COVID vaccinated or test negative prior to volunteering.  

Getting vaccinated for COVID is the best way to protect yourself, your family, loved ones, teachers and friends from serious disease or illness. COVID is here to stay, and now it's about how we manage it.  At this time we will not require verification of COVID vaccination status to volunteer on campus, though we greatly appreciate those who are and who provided us with their information over the past year or so. Thank you.  

NEW VOLUNTEERS: It can take up to 2 weeks to get compliant and cleared. Don't delay in starting the process. Click on NEW VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS at the bottom of this newsletter for more information and direction.
