Principal Notes

Dear Families,

Summer is officially over. We look forward to cooler days and nights, fall leaves and all things pumpkin. We have been blessed with being able to spend lots of time outside with our students. Please pray that we continue to have good weather.

Our celebration for the Soles for Catholic Education Walk is only 16 days away! This and our Auction for Education are the two large fundraisers we have each year. If you haven’t donated, please think about helping us. Remember that 100% of the pledge money you raise stays at St. Mary's. Your donation helps to support all the activities that the Home and School plans for the year in addition to classroom funds for the teachers to help support what they do for our students. Every donation is important to us.

If you have signed up to do cafeteria duty and need to bring your littlest children with you, I would ask that you do playground duty instead. We are not ready to welcome other children in the building yet. No need to trade with anyone. We can always use an extra pair of eyes outside. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

Just a reminder. There is no school for the students next week Thursday and Friday. Thursday, we will have a day of faith formation. Friday, we will gather with all the schools of the Milwaukee Archdiocese for our teacher convention. Enjoy the long weekend!

Mrs. Mary Tretow,
