From The Principal

We will be having a blood drive on Thursday, November 10th from 1:00- 7:00 in the gym. Please consider giving. It is a good cause, plus we would like to meet our school goal. The homeroom that gets the most donors wins a prize.

A Season of Thanks…A Time to Give Back

Order forms need to be returned to the school office no later than Monday, October 31. Please call Becky Puccetti, 276-0249 if you have any questions.

Trunk or Treat

Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 30^th at 3:00pm when the Knights of Columbus, Council 13581 sponsors their annual Trunk or Treat. Children, preschool through 6^th grade walk around the church and school going from parked car to parked car collecting Halloween goodies! Cars, trucks, vans and SUV can be decorated (optional) and you can also dress up yourself and be a part of the fun while you hand treats out to the goblins. If you are coming “decorated” please be here by 2:00. We generally have several hundred goblins so many trunks with goodies are needed. A form was sent home with each student with additional information and a place to volunteer to pass out treats. If you are interested, please return the bottom portion of the form as soon as you can.
