ST. MARY PHOENIX NEWS

Our First Snow Day Of The Year! And it is February! What did you do on your Snow Day? I was at Buehler's for the Soup Sale.

Parent teacher conferences are this Thursday from 3:30PM-6:30PM. Please contact your child's teacher to schedule a conference.

Don't forget to purchase your tickets to Night In New York our main fundraiser of the year. All proceeds will be added to our Activity Upgrades Fund. Help us revamp our floor, lights, and paint. It is a great Parish Event and a worthy cause since we all use the Activity Center for many Parish events.

It is that time of year again for us to start planning for the 2020-2021 School Year. On Monday, families received their "Tuition Worksheet for 2020-2021 School Year" in an email from Mrs. Weyer(EdChoice and Financial Aid Coordinator). Please complete the form and turn it into the office so we can begin processing your financial needs for the next year. Many of the scholarships and Tuition Assistance Options have deadlines. All families will need to complete a form for our records. Mrs. Weyer has sent out paperwork for EdChoice Scholarships, FACTS and Guardian Angel Scholarships. Please return the information as soon as possible so we can process your paperwork. Thank you for your assistance with planning for next year.

We are an EdChoice School so if you know of any family who would like to send their child to St. Mary School have them reach out to our office.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the office and we will be happy to answer them. There are many questions related to EdChoice at this time. As we work through the new updates we will keep you informed about deadlines and eligibility. This year we are asking parents to turn in your paperwork now so we can upload the documents to the state. Thank you to all parents who have returned your information as of today.

The Third grade Class has been working on learning about trial law. They recently presented a Mock Trial "Al T. Wolf vs. the State" Al T. Wolf was accused of killing the 2 pigs by blowing their house down. The students each had a part in the investigation of the crime and subsequent trial. It was an original piece of work with many twists and turns. The defense and prosecution worked hard to present their case. In the end, Al T. Wolf was acquitted because he had a cold and it was deemed an accident because he sneezed and the house of straw and sticks blew down. Great job everybody!

Use Scrip all year long and support the school with your regular spending!

Special “Thank You” to everyone who used Scrip during the last quarter (Oct.-Dec.). We earned more than $2,000 for the school. Let’s keep it going! Scrip can be used all year long, not only as gifts, but for your everyday expenses.

Current Promotion (Jan. 13- Feb. 10): Any family that spends $200 on Scrip during this time will win dress down day passes for their child or children.

Next Promotion (Feb. 11-March 9): For every $100 spent on Scrip cards, you will be automatically entered into a drawing for either a $50 Scrip gift card or a reserved pew at an Easter Mass.
