Message from the Principal
Dear St. Michael-St. Gabriel Families and Friends, 

We hope you and your family have been finding ways to beat this summer heat; we know it hasn’t been easy. These last few weeks we have been busy cleaning classrooms and waxing the top floor of the school, as well as hosting the first two weeks of our Title I summer school program for our elementary students. Our junior high Title I program for summer school will begin right after the Fourth of July. If you have questions about the junior high program, please reach out to Mr. Alley or Ms. LaRosa. 

We hope by now that your family has received two mailings from us, one with your child’s report card in it and the other with summer information, such as our school supply list, summer reading list, and new school uniform information. It is important that you take some time to review the changes to our school uniforms, as you will need to purchase items through our uniform vendor. This includes the school polo shirt with logo and uniform bottoms. More information can be found on our school website and at our uniform sales later today and tomorrow morning at Cardinal Ritter High School. 

As a reminder, if your child is moving into sixth grade this year, and you would like to purchase a Chromebook through us, please try to complete that form and return it to us by the end of June so that we know how many devices to order for the fall. We want to make sure your child is prepared when classes begin, and these devices will take some time to come in.

Ms. Pelayo will be on vacation the week of July 4th, so please make a note of that if you need Spanish assistance.
 
Since we will not have another newsletter before the Fourth of July, we want to wish all of you safe travels and a continued relaxing break. 

God Bless,
Mrs. Ramos

Prayer for Students

Lord our God,
in your wisdom and love
you surround us with the mysteries of the universe.
Send your Spirit upon these students
and fill them with your wisdom and blessings.
Grant that they may
devote themselves to their studies
and draw ever closer to you,
the source of all knowledge. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

R/. Amen.

USED AND NEW UNIFORM SALES

Our Used Uniform Sale will be held on Friday, June 24th from 1:00-3:00 p.m. in the school cafeteria. We will also have new gym shirts and gym shorts available for students to purchase. One set costs $20. These are required for students in Grades 6-8. Families who wish to sell items that their children have outgrown may drop off those items to the school office. Please include your name, contact information, and the cost you are requesting for each item. Note that this year, we are only accepting plaid jumpers, plaid skirts, plaid skorts, and SMSG sweatshirts. Items should be laundered and in good condition. We will not be accepting navy bottoms or red shirts for resale, as these will change for this coming school year to include our logo on them. These items should be dropped off by Wednesday, June 22nd to the main office if you would like to sell any items. 

The New Uniform Sale will be held in the Cardinal Ritter High School gym on Friday, June 24th from 3:00-6:00 p.m. and Saturday, June 25th from 10:00 a.m. until noon.

8th Grade Trash Bag Sales

It’s that time of year when we know many of you are beginning to bag up your leaves and clean out your gardens. If you are interested in purchasing trash bags from the school office, we are selling rolls for $11 a piece. All proceeds go to fund the eighth grade class trip. An initial order form was sent home with all students this week, if you are interested in purchasing any.  We do sell these bags throughout the year as well, so you may consider purchasing some in the spring as well.
