Friday Letter 9/4

This weekend our beloved teacher, Ms. Weiss will become Mrs.  Mariano.  She will be in our thoughts and prayers as she begins this new adventure in her life with her husband Mike.

Please continue to keep Fr. German and in your prayers.  He is presently in Columbia with his mother who has been ill but  will be returning next week.  

Mark Ng is a new face to the school.  He will be working at St. Anne’s and St. Sebastian School this year.  Presently he is working with Ms. Graves in Mandarin but will  be helping out in other classrooms as well.  Mr. Ng will be subbing at the school from time to time and is a huge gift to the school.  Please read his bio at the end of this email.  Welcome Mr. Ng!

Attached to this email you will find a quick easy way to earn money for our school.  If you shop at Ralphs, Food4Less and/or Target follow the directions on the flyer and help your school with each purchase.  If you have used the scan code for Ralphs before September 1st, it will need to be scanned again for this next year.  Gift cards can also be ordered through the school, earning money for each card ordered.  The more families that participate, the more funds generated for the school.  Hard copies have also been sent home with your student in their backpacks.

Please take time to visit your child’s teacher’s web page located on our web site, under the faculty tab.  Homework, schedules and any added information can be found on this page.

SPC

This Tuesday, Sept. 8th, there will be a Spartan Parent Club meeting for chair members only.  If you have volunteered to be a chair for the SPC, your attendance is needed.  All families who have submitted interest forms for various volunteer positions throughout the school year will be contacted by the chair for that committee with information and directions.  If you have not yet submitted your volunteer interest form, please return to the front office as soon as possible.

Tweet from Pope Francis:

We learn many virtues in our Christian families. Above all, we learn to love, asking nothing in return.

Enjoy the last weekend of summer!

God Bless,
Ms. McDugald
