Weekly Highlights: Sept. 11 - 17
I hope you are enjoying this lovely weekend. It was wonderful to see so many people at the Welcome Back BBQ on Friday night. It was sure an indication of the amazing community we have here at St. Mary's. I was especially happy to see so many of our new families in attendance - I hope you had a great time!
THANK YOU
To everyone who contributed food to the BBQ on Friday - much appreciated!
To everyone (87 families!) who has updated their family information on the OnVolunteer spreadsheet. We need the information for just 29 more families to be entered, and then we can get that program going! If you've not had a chance to do it yet, please go to this form to do so. Thank you!
INFORMATION
More Walkathon Information: we will definitely be having a special Mass at 2:00 p.m. that day, so all families may do the walk in the morning and then come to celebrate the school's 75th anniversary!
A clarification re: the theme raffle baskets: you are being asked to provide something toward the basket for your child's class, not to make a whole basket yourself! All the donations will be combined to create some spectacular prizes. Please have donations in by this Friday, September 15th.
REMINDERS
Please return your brown envelope as soon as possible. Last week we had 88% of the envelopes come back the very next day, and the Grade 4/5 class received a prize for having the highest percentage of envelopes returned (95%). Thank you!
