Greenery Help Opportunity. Volunteer with a friend.
We would love your help. Be part of a Currier and Ives Christmas scene. You will feel surrounded by Christmas spirit while you lend a hand with greenery distribution. You will smell "piney," too.
No training needed just a generous heart.

Halloween Arrival Fun
The teachers and staff enjoy celebrating Halloween with our students. In years past, we have assembled on the front steps for arrival as Characters from Hogwarts, Shrek and Toy Story. Tuesday morning you will find us decked out as creatures from the Haunted House.
The music will be blaring and the fog machine working hard. Reassure your children that no one will touch them or feel free to park and walk them in. (We might grab grown ups!)
Students may be out of uniform and some classes will be in costume. The Office will hand out Halloween fruit snacks to all students throughout the day.
Wednesday, Nov. 1st, is All Saints Day. We will celebrate this Holy Day of Obligation with a mass at Noon in hte Main Church. Parents, Guardians and other family are welcome to join us. Many parishioners will be in attendance, too.
Thursday, All Souls Day, fall conferences begin at 3 p.m,. We are hoping for 100% participation.
There is no school on Friday. Conferences continue throughout they day.
Daylight savings starts next weekend, too. Prepare to be in your jammies by 5:30 p.m. every dark evening. At least we gain an hour of sleep!

Safety Tip - Daylight Savings
Daylight Savings Ends November 5
On Sunday, November 5 at 2 a.m., Daylight Savings Time officially ends. As we set our clocks to “fall back,” it’s also a convenient time to check the batteries in our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Conducting these battery checks in conjunction with the time change ensures this maintenance is built into your schedule. Your smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries should be changed annually for optimal performance.
Note: If your smoke or carbon monoxide detectors are more than 10 years old, consider replacing them. Alarm sensors can wear down and become less effective over time.
7th Graders Helping Clean Up the School Garden
7th grade assisted with garden cleanup on Friday. They also helped move sand to the preschool sandbox. They displayed excellent team work as they served our school community!
