Thank you to all of our parents who stopped by for conferences last week--it was great to welcome you into the building and visit about the strides your children are making in their education and learn how we can continue to support you in your role as the primary educators of your children.

Special thanks to our Teacher Appreciation Committee, who not only coordinated a potluck meal for our staff at Thursday evening's conferences, but prepared and served a continental breakfast for our staff on Friday morning (see Father partaking above).

Parents: we are continually blessed by your investment in your children's education, and your children are blessed by your caring, faithful example.

All Saints' Day Party: TONIGHT!

All families are invited to participate in the All Saints' Day Party on Monday, October 31st. We will begin with 5:15PM Mass (all are welcome to come in costume, but please leave props for party after) followed by party from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM in Gruden Gym (please enter School Door #3).

Both youth and adults are encouraged to dress as a favorite or interesting Saint or Blessed. Each participating family is asked to contribute $20 and two bags of candy to cover the pizza dinner and games we will enjoy together.

To volunteer to help, or for any questions, please contact Arika Heffron at 507-213-0725 or arkeetd@hotmail.com.
