Dear SRS Parents and Guardians,
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our Lenten service project for the Make a Wish Foundation. For children who are experiencing a serious illness, this organization assists in bringing a child’s wish to life. A wish come true for some children can be the spark that helps these children believe anything is possible and gives them the strength to fight harder against their illness. We are more than half way to our goal with more than two weeks left in Lent. With your continued generosity and assistance we will succeed and make many wishes come true!
If you have not sent your re-enrollment contract back please do so by April 14. This will secure your child’s place at St. Rita School for the 2022-2023 year. If you will not be returning, please notify the school office as we have had over 70 students apply to St. Rita for the upcoming year.
Msgr. Joe will be officially retiring on May 1. There will be a special Mass and reception in his honor at St. Rita Church on Sunday, May 1 @ 11:30. A reception will follow from 1:00-3:00 at the school. All school families are invited to attend both events to thank Msgr. Joe for his leadership and honor him as he retires. We are looking for pictures of your child or family with Msgr. Joe (1st Communion, Graduation, etc.) for a slide show. Please email them to the school and they will be included in the tribute.
Summer Camp registration will be open on-line beginning Friday, April 1. Specific details about the weekly programs will be included on the registration portal. The registration link is: www.srsathletics.com. Once registered a non-refundable 50% deposit by check/cash must be made to secure your child’s spot. Please send your payment to the school office in an envelope marked Summer Camp attention Mrs. Palowski. The balance must be paid in full by June 15.
Below please find a list of upcoming important dates:

Please support our production of Annie Jr. at St. Rita School through the Ad Book Campaign.
Please ask all of the local businesses you support, your own employers, and of course, your family members, to support our cast in the school's production of Annie Jr.
Any family can place an ad!
Fill out the Ad form and attach your payment, either check or cash, and send it to the school in a marked envelope with "ANNIE" on it. As for the content of the Ad, you can email that digitally, as that makes it much easier for us to upload it to our Ad book layout. Please do this by April 9th.
I know some of you have purchased a package that includes an ad in our program. If you are one of those folks, no need to submit payment, just the ad you'd like to place. But remember that you could still go and ask others to support us!
TO MAKE THIS FUN FOR OUR KIDS, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN AD BOOK CONTEST! THE TOP TWO STUDENTS WITH THE HIGHEST AD BOOK SALES WILL WIN AN AWESOME PRIZE AND THE HIGHEST-SELLING CLASS WILL WIN A CLASS PIZZA PARTY!
Send us some adbook love!
Ticket info coming soon!
