Dear Parents,
What a beautiful week it has been! The fall weather is upon us so enjoy every minute before the snow flies.
In honor of St. Frances of Assisi, we will have pet blessing on Tuesday, October 5 after Mass. Please send a photo of your family pet(s) with your child on or before Tuesday. We will not be having our traditional pet blessing on the playground this year.
Please join us for Trunk or Treat on Thursday, October 28. Decorate your vehicles, dress up for Halloween and hand out candy to the kids. This is a great family event and we have had a great time in the past. All families are encouraged to attend this safe and fun Halloween event!
Our junior high students are doing great things! With the help of Joanne Theisen and Sarah Mowry, we have formed a new committee, Learning to Lead by Serving Others. Some of the projects include service hours in the food pantry, setting up/decorating for the pumpkin patch, learning financial responsibility (saving for college, checkbook and credit card responsibility), service projects in the community and small businesses appreciation projects. Watch for more details as the students embrace this awesome life experience by making a difference in our community while learning to be good citizens, future leaders and examples of Christ's love.
The Schueller family is again sponsoring the Pumpkin Patch this year. A huge thank you for creating this event. Pumpkins will be available on Friday, October 15 from 3:15pm – 5:00pm. Please plan to come out for some fall fun. Get some great family pictures and pick your pumpkins!
If you have any questions or need assistance, we are here to help! Happy Fall!
Joan Schlaefer
