Weekly Highlights: Oct. 10 - 15
Happy Thanksgiving! I definitely give thanks for the St. Mary's School community and all who make it such a wonderful place to be!
THANK YOU
To all who were able to attend the Parent-Teacher interviews last Thursday and Friday. I enjoyed seeing so many of you as you were arriving or leaving. Some classes had nearly 100% turnout, which is fantastic!
To those who have filled out the Walkathon Survey. It's not too late to provide your feedback! There have been some good suggestions already.
To those who supported the book fair, and to Mrs. ten Bohmer and volunteers for organizing and staffing it.
INFORMATION
Oktoberfest Tickets go on sale this week! Here are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing:
this is a 19+ event - no minors
if you want to sit at the same table as someone else, you must purchase your tickets at the same time (i.e., get one person to purchase the tickets for everyone). Once names are submitted, it becomes difficult to move people around to different tables.
tickets are non-refundable after October 31st
there will be many opportunities to get participation hours for this event - stay tuned!
tickets have traditionally sold out quickly, so don't wait to get yours!
REMINDERS

You do not need to register for photo retake day (October 12), just send your child to school with their Express Proof with the retake reason filled in, or send your child with a note requesting a retake and any notes if you want the photographer to follow any specific instructions.
