October 11 = NO SCHOOL (Columbus Day)
|
|
|
October is the month of the Holy Rosary. We wanted to share a small gift - the Rosary - with our SJS families. Rosaries were sent home with the youngest/only child for each family. To say the Rosary properly, we have included an instruction pamphlet. We hope you will pray the Rosary as a family - especially this month.
"How beautiful is the family that recites the Rosary every evening". - St. John Paul II

How do I decorate my trunk?
Please have your trunk and costumes reflect our shared Catholic values and avoid devils, witches & ghosts etc. You can go with fall/harvest, sports, Biblical, animals, legos, etc. Please keep in mind our Catholic ideals when selecting your decorations.
