Dear Parents,
What another exciting week it has been! We had beautiful weather this morning for our Fun Run and the students had a blast. I personally want to thank all the parents who supported our school through the last two weeks and came out to support the students this morning. It was great to see! I also want to give a huge thank you and congratulations to Tanya and Karen on a fun and successful event. We far surpassed our goals and had a lot of fun doing it.
I want to remind everyone of a couple of things. First, if you have not yet signed up for the Remind 101 service for your student’s class, please do so soon. This is a way that I will send out short reminders to parents and other important information. Also, if you want to talk, I will be at 9 am Mass on Sunday and will be around afterwards as well for my first Principal Chat.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all. I am always available via phone or email to meet with parents.
Stay safe and have a great weekend!
Russ Johnston

St. Alphonsus Catholic School’s Fun Run was a great success! Our students did a stellar job this morning and had a fantastic time. They greatly appreciated the energy added by all who came out to cheer them on! St. Alphonsus families did OUTSTANDING work and raised over $18,000 for our school!
If you or someone else wanted to make a donation, but just never got around to it, there’s still time!! Pledges can be made on MYBOOSTER.COM through October 1st.
AND, Mr. Johnston has decided to do a Principal Challenge for each fundraising milestone reached! He will come to school in costume on October 4th and 5th to celebrate surpassing $10,000 and $15,000 raised. If our school reaches the $20,000 mark by next Friday, Mr. Johnston will come to school in costume October 4th, 5th, AND 6th!
Thanks again to our St. Alphonsus Catholic School community for making this Fun Run so successful!

Spotlight On
8th Grade Religion
|
The eighth graders created their own personal creeds after analyzing and comparing two of the creeds of the Church. They created a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting both the Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed. After that, they were inspired by Dr. Jones (of the Indiana Jones Movies) to examine what they believe. They worked hard at creating their creeds and I am proud to show those creeds to the school.
--Dr. Ron Russell
