Dear Parents,
Brrrrrrr! It sure is chilly!
We are having our annual Open House with a complimentary spaghetti dinner for all current and prospective families on Monday, February 7 from 3:30 – 6:00pm. Please invite grandma and grandpa and friends too! Enjoy a delicious meal prepared by Chef’s Joe Ninnemann, Ms. Jan and Chef Owen! Come out to eat with your friends at St. Matt’s. All families are welcome and encouraged to attend. We are asking if you could possibly make a batch of cookies or bars to share for dessert. Don’t pass up a free meal with family and friends!
We have some exciting new projects. We are in the process of planning our new playground “Project Safe Play.” We will be presenting our plans at Cabin Fever. We need a new entryway for safe and easy drop-off and pick-up with new playground equipment to include infant and toddler equipment, a baseball diamond and basketball courts. We will be doing this in phases and hope to start with the plan unveiling at Cabin Fever. It will be a beautiful, fun and safe space for our students. Stay tuned!
We have joined forces with the Knights of Columbus to have a Fish Fry with our hybrid Cabin Fever fundraiser event on March 18. We are in need of volunteers to help out so please watch for sign up information coming soon. Thank you to those who have already volunteered!
Our Christmas concert DVDs just arrived!. If you haven’t purchased one yet, we still have plenty left! Just send $15 to the school office and we will send one home with your child. We want to continue offering these to you but will be unable to if we don't sell enough to cover the recording costs.
If your child(ren) will be absent, at an appointment, etc. please make sure the teacher has adequate time to gather all homework assignments to send home or be picked up. We need all early release/late arrivals in writing so both the teacher and school office are aware. Also, if you are going to be out of town, please let the school office know if there is a different emergency contact during that time. We want to make sure everyone is safe - please help us help you!
Stay warm and GO PACK GO!
