FROM THE PRINCIPAL

With the increase in the number of vehicles picking up and dropping off students, a few reminders. Please only park or stop on the school side of Parkside. Parking on both sides makes it tough for cars to get through. If you need to pick up a student at Raymond Hall, please use the alley from Wicklow and the lanes created by the cones. Cars will not be allowed to turn left from Roys. If you are picking up a student on the Guernsey side of the school, please do not stop in the middle of the street to pick up your child.  Please pull over and have your child cross at the cross walk to get to your car.  All of these guidelines were put in place for the safety of our children.  Thanks!

 

TEEN CANTINA

All teens grades 7 – 12 are invited to the Teen Cantina at the St. Stephen’s Festival this Friday and Saturday, September 14 and 15 from 7pm – 11pm.  Admission is $1.00 per person.  There will be a DJ, Karaoke and Corn Hole.  Food will be available for purchase.

 

FALL FUNDRAISER

Fundraiser packets went home this week.  All families should have received one packet.  If your family did not receive a packet, please call the school office and we will send one home to you.  All forms and money are due on Wednesday, September 26.  NO ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER MONDAY, OCTOBER 1.  If you have any questions, please call Debbie Bush, 279-3829.

 

PARENT TO PARENT

The Fall session of Parent To Parent will be held on Tuesdays, October 2, 9, 16 & 23rd.  Parents need to attend all 4 sessions to complete the course.  The program is a video driven presentation with opportunity for group discussions.  Parents of students in grades 6-8 may register by calling the School Office at 279-9935.  Depending on the number of parents, the meetings will be held in the Teacher’s Lounge of the main school building. Remember this program is required before your child enters 8th grade at St. Mary Magdalene and at most Catholic High Schools in Columbus.  Bishop Ready will accept your attendance of the program at St. Mary Magdalene.

 

SPORTS SCHEDULE

The fall sports schedule is available on the SMM website by clicking SMM Athletics.

 

SCOUTING

If you missed the Scout Recruiting Night meeting, but would still like to be a Scout, it’s not too late. Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts meet every Monday evening (except on Holidays) at Parkview United Methodist Church, across Wicklow from Westgate Park between Algonquin and Brinker. Although we meet at Parkview, this is a joint troop with Saint Mary Magdalene, and many of the leaders are SMM parents. 1st through 4th grade Cub Scouts meet from 7:00pm-8:00pm. 5th grade Webelos Scouts and Boy Scouts (6th through 12th grades) meet from 6:30pm-8:00pm. Please feel free to stop by any night and have some fun. If you have questions, you can call Matt Montgomery at 279-9480 or email him at mmontgomery@saintmarymag.org.
