WEEKLY NEWS FROM THE OFFICE - Week of 10/1

Dear School Families,

The Wesco Popcorn Bucket Sale is going great! The profits of this sale goes towards our St. Mary's School bus for field trips and general maintenance. The popcorn buckets make good gifts and they'll have free popcorn through December 2019. The popcorn buckets sell for $12 each and may be ordered and picked up in the school office.

Remember the first Monday of each month is a Color Day. This Monday is Picture Retake Day as well. It is also October and that means the shorts are put away until spring. Please make sure your children have a coat or sweatshirt to wear on these cool fall mornings. Hopefully we won't have to worry about winter gear for at least a month.

Don't forget "Blessing of the Pets" on Thursday, October 4th at 8:45 am. Fr. Dave will give a special blessing in the south parking lot right after morning Mass and when school starts. Please keep your pets in this area before the blessing.
​
God Bless.
