Other Notes-

School masses next week will be on Tuesday and Wednesday at 2:00 p.m.  Please join us if you can.  Collections from school masses in September go to the Adopt-a-Student Fund.

We sent another text message emergency notification test on Monday around 9:30 a.m. If you did not receive the message, please contact the school office. We had our annual church emergency drill on Wednesday, and will continue practicing for all kinds of emergency situations throughout the school year.

We are on a mission to replace the long, heavy tables that we use in the school gym with more lightweight ones, so they are easier to set up and move around.  If you are interested in helping with this project, tables are $100 each and we have around 20 to replace. Gifts of $25, $50, $75, $100 or more to the table fund GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Grades 4 & 5 will walk to the Eisenhower Center this week on Wednesday and Thursday for special educational programs.

If you would like to receive non-emergency text message reminders through the REMIND App, please watch for an e-mail from your child's teacher. An e-mail for this was also sent from Principal Whitehair this week.

TRASH BAG pick-up is Friday, September 19 in the church parking lot.

Please be sure to read the message from Bishop Vincke and Deacon Bill Meagher about the Restored Order of the Sacraments. This is an important change for our diocese, including our students and sacrament preparation.

Message from Bishop Vincke and Dcn. Bill Meagher

Students enjoyed making rock gardens in memory of Cecilia Graf this week.

Look for the beautiful new rocks by the front and back Mary Gardens.

Thank you for the prayers and support of her family!

Full moon Monday! We had some unusual things happen on Monday - including a baby bull snake joining the music class for a bit of fun!
