February 12, 2025

The calendar for the 2025-2026 school year is now available, allowing parents to plan for vacations and long weekends. With the dates for school breaks, holidays, and teacher planning days clearly outlined, families can make the most of the time off by scheduling trips or special events. Knowing when the kids will be home from school can help parents plan vacations or enjoy extended weekends together, making the year ahead feel more organized and less stressful. Be sure to check the school’s calendar for important dates and avoid any potential scheduling conflicts. A link to the calendar is https://cardinalpacelli.org/parents/calendar/

We are incredibly proud of our eighth graders for being accepted into their chosen high schools. If your child has received one or more scholarships, could you kindly email me the total amount? I’d love to gather information on the total value of scholarships earned by our eighth-grade class.

Every year the kids have the chance to sell raffle tickets for the Grand Prize raffled off at Junefest. When a child hits their goal of selling $100, they will get a shirt that they can then wear as part of their uniform for the rest of the year.

The Junefest Raffle Committee is hoping to have you fill out your child's shirt size for Junefest shirts. These will be the same style shirts as last year, we suggest if you are in between sizes, to size up.

HERE IS THE LINK

We will need these by THIS Thursday or we will just assign a size to your child.

February 27th- Come support our 2nd - 8th grade drama students in their musical performance (at 1pm for the school and 7pm for the general public, doors open at 6:30).

Every participant in the show receives two complimentary tickets so take that into account when factoring in your headcount when completing your transaction. Use the link below to reserve/purchase tickets for friends, family and siblings! Children 5 and under are free but we ask that you do "reserve" space for them using the ticket link so we know how many fans to expect! No physical tickets will be distributed this year. Please have your receipt ready at the door (printed or on your phone) to help us confirm your purchase. Get Your Beauty and the Beast Tickets Here!

Volunteers Needed for Beauty and the Beast Performance: We have several volunteer opportunities available over the next few weeks for rehearsals. There are also spots available to assist on the day/night of the performance. Please consider signing up to help make this show a success! Signup to volunteer for the drama program here!

March 23rd at 11am at Kenwood Country Club. More info to come in early March.

April 3rd was the date originally scheduled for the PTO Fashion show. However, due to some complications with scheduling, we have decided to make this a transition year and take this opportunity to discuss what we want this event to become next year. We are working to secure a venue to get together for a casual moms cocktail night on April 3rd and will send more info out soon!

April 10th - Stay tuned for info on how to sign up and other details.

It's almost time to sign up for PTO committees for next year! Be on the lookout for details on how to signup for committees or chair positions that are opening up!

We are on the hunt for our next Vice President! No previous PTO experience is needed - just ask Sarah and Ali! We'd love to chat over drinks about what the role entails!

On Friday, February 14th from 9:30 to 10:30am Student Council will be leading the all-school Jumpathon. Every student has the opportunity to jump rope to win prizes. The person from each homeroom with the most total jumps in one minute will compete in the final round. The winner of the final round gets a special reward.

All students may wear a red or pink top with spiritwear bottoms. All proceeds will be donated to the American Heart Association.

All parishioners, parents of students and alumni are invited to the 2025 Gala, where all proceeds go towards roof renovations to the church and school.
