Week 13
Good Morning!
With Thanksgiving right around the corner and progress reports going out next week, it’s hard to believe how quickly time is flying! Pictured above is the bulletin board outside of our Kindergarten Classroom. If you are looking for creative ideas, look no further than our PK & Kindergarten Hallway!
Veterans Day Program – November 11th
We hope to see you at our Annual Veterans Day Program on Monday, November 11th, at 1:30 PM. The program will kick off with a cookie social for Veterans and Active Duty Military members at 1:00 PM.
Our middle school students will march in the Midwest City Veterans Day Parade, then will meet us in the Family Life Center to listen to performances by our grade school students, including the Armed Forces Medley and other patriotic tunes.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Ignatius Book Fair - Book Orders Update
We apologize for the delay in the delivery of some book orders from the Ignatius Book Fair. Mrs. Burns has been in constant communication with Ignatius, and we will notify you as soon as we receive the missing books. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.
School Pictures
School pictures are being sent home today. If you ordered digital downloads and have not yet received an email from Oklahoma School Pictures, please contact them directly at 405-753-6800.
Picture retake day is November 21st. If your child will be getting retakes, please be sure to bring the original pictures with you on the 21st.
3V - Guest Speaker: Mr. Michael Whiting
Yesterday, we were blessed to have Mr. Michael Whiting, a parishioner of SPN, deliver an inspiring message on our 3V journey. He added a powerful 4th V: VOICE to our framework. Drawing from the example of St. John the Baptist, the "Voice in the Wilderness," Mr. Whiting encouraged each of us to let our voices shine through Virtue, Vocation, and Vision. His message reminded us to share truth, hope, and faith with courage.
Art Days with Mr. Garcia
We’ve added more dates for Art Days to ensure every student has the opportunity to complete their artwork. To make things easier for families, we’re keeping consecutive sessions together so that we can better protect and store the pieces.
To sign up for Art Days, please visit our Google Doc.
PCTC Update
If you were approved for the PCTC and received a check for the fall semester, you will receive another check for the same amount for the spring semester. You will only be responsible for paying the difference in the amount of your tax credit and the cost of tuition. We are already seeing the fruits of the PCTC. For new and returning families, the PCTC application for the 2025-2026 school year will open in February. We will certainly keep everyone updated as it gets closer and we receive more information. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Falcon Elf Factory Donations
The Falcon Elf Factory is a fun event for our students to do a little Christmas shopping for their families. This will take place December 9-13. We collect donated items, and make crafts for kids to purchase at a low cost. If you have any low cost items that you would like to donate for our Falcon Elf Factory please contact our PTO President Lecye Lippoldt at lecyedoolen@gmail.com.
Save the Date: Shrimp Boil – February 1st
Mark your calendars for our 2nd Annual Shrimp Boil on February 1st! Tickets will go on sale starting November 29th. Stay tuned for more information coming soon! This is sure to be another great event that you will not want to miss, and tickets will go fast!
