Dear Parents,

Welcome to Fall! Please send warm clothes for the kids as they go outside for recess unless it’s raining. Some kids are coming to school without jackets or sweatshirts so please send appropriate clothes.

We have a crazy busy fun-filled fall planned. The first event on the calendar will be Teacher In-service on Thursday, October 7 and Friday, October 8. There is no school but daycare will be open normal operating hours for your convenience. Please let Ms. Jan know if your child will be needing care those days.

We will be having a Home & School Committee meeting on Monday, October 10 at 6pm in the cafeteria. We want your input and involvement in our school fundraisers. Pizza will be provided. Bring your kids and ideas!

New this year is our Catholic Schools Walk in conjunction with our Pumpkin Patch on Friday, October 14. Please see the flyer sent home today. Donations can be made here. All donations and matching funds will go to our Playsafe Playground Project.

The Pumpkin Patch will feature lots of pumpkins, photo opportunities, food, snacks and fun! Plan to attend. It will be from 3:15pm-5:00pm in the empty field across the street from the school.

Trunk or Treat will be Thursday, October 27 from 5:30pm-6:30pm in the church parking lot. There will be music by DJ Petersen, costume contest and car decorating contest. Please plan to attend this fun and safe way to trickor treat. Sign up information coming soon!

Mark your calendars for these upcoming events and join in all the fun!

Have a great weekend!
