January 6, 2023

Dear Parents,

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and wish you many blessings in 2023. Tis the season for family get-a-ways. If you are planning to take kids out of school, please fill out a vacation form (found here). This helps us plan and make sure you have what you need to help your child/ren keep from getting overwhelmed upon their return.

Catholic Schools Week will be Sunday, January 29 – Saturday, February 4. We will celebrate the week with special events. Please watch for details. This is also registration week for the upcoming school year for our families, daycare and pre-school programs. Stay tuned.

Our annual fundraiser dinner auction, Cabin Fever, is Saturday, March 18. How can you help? First and foremost…please attend! Crave will be catering this adults only evening and there will be raffles, silent and live auctions and lots of fun! Our donation letters will be coming soon. Baskets, homemade goods and services, unique items, etc are greatly appreciated. Monetary donations and sponsorships are also appreciated.

Please come to our Home & School meeting on Tuesday, January 10 in the daycare room. We need your help with organizing, set-up and clean up. Many hands make for light work! Hope to see you there!

Have a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful winter weather!

Joan Schlaefer
