Weekly Highlights: Feb. 26 - Mar. 3

THANK YOU

to the many people who have already signed up for the Parking Lot Fundraiser so quickly. This requires many volunteers, and we have filled approximately 75% of the spots already!

INFORMATION

Please see the bottom of this email for information regarding costumes for the school musical. If you have any problem with what is being asked, please contact your child's teacher, and we will help you out!
Brown envelopes are being sent home this week. They will be going home early as they have your family’s income tax receipt inside. Please return the envelope the day after you receive it (this has been a wonderful year for getting envelopes back - thank you!).

Please remember that that income tax receipt is claimed under CHARITABLE DONATIONS, not under tuition.

The parish has Friday evening Lenten devotions including Stations of the Cross at 6:30 p.m., followed by Mass at 7:00 p.m. All are encouraged to attend.

REMINDERS

Please get registration packages in as soon as possible, so we may plan for class composition and staffing!
Registration packages received by February 29 will qualify for the $25 early-bird registration fee. Packages received after this date will have a $50 fee applied.

Please note that the hours to return the package are from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m., and from 3:00 - 3:30. If you are unable to come at those times, please contact the office for an alternate time. Please do not come to the office at 8:40 a.m., as this is an extremely busy time for staff.

Important COSTUME INFORMATION for the School Musical

Kindergarten, Gr. 7, and Gr. 5/6- Kids will wear jeans, any shoes, and the provided tie dye shirt. They can wear any shirt to school and we will put the other on top/ or change. Girls wear their hair down if possible. We will provide additional accessories to complete the look.

1/2 Kessler and Prost- Students wear comfortable clothes to go under their animal costume. They can bring a costume from home by next week or we will fit them with an animal costume from school. We won't be too picky about which animals as long as they are not inappropriate. We are sure God would be okay with unicorns and dinosaurs on the ark!

Grade 3/4- Tie Dye shirts provided by the school. Jeans for the bottom with any shoes.

Grade 4/5- Will have costumes from the school provided to them. They need to wear appropriate clothing under that school costume. This can be shirt, pants and for some, shorts. Everyone should bring sandals to wear on their feet.

Have a wonderful week everyone - happy birthday to anyone who gets to celebrate this Leap Year!

-Mrs. Sallos
