The Superbowl is on Sunday! I have had a request by some students for a Superbowl Dress Down, so let's do it! Tomorrow students can cheer on their favorite Superbowl Teams with their team colors or gear. So let's see that Chiefs gear and 49s gear (if you dare) and celebrate the Superbowl with our SCB community. As always, follow the dress down policy in the handbook.

As we approach the end of the trimester, grades will be turned off for parents viewing. This ensures teachers are able to enter grades, complete comments, and finish report cards. Report cards will be available on Wednesday, February 22.

New Website Live

We are very excited to announce that www.borromeoschool.com has a brand new look and feel. We have been hard at work behind the scenes making a brand new website that is not only user friendly but represents our mission through content. This website will improve our ability to not only communicate, but for families to interact with us. With the new platform, our website will be fully integrated with FACTS and you will have one less place to click to find what you are looking for regarding all things SCB Bobcats!

Please join us for All School Mass on Ash Wednesday on February 14th at 10:00 AM.

Definition: Obedience is assenting to rightful authority without hesitation or resistance.

How to practice obedience?

Listen the first time you are given direction.

At school, we are practicing obedience everyday by quieting down when students hear the PA. They are quieting down on their own without the teacher having to ask them to be quiet.

Lent is right around the corner! Our parish and school's second largest annual fundraiser are here: the fish fry. As you may recall, when you signed all the back- to- school forms there was a part indicating that working the picnic and the fish fry were expectations for SCB parents to work. Each family is required to work (2) 2 hour shifts during the 6 weeks/Fridays of fish fries. The fish fries are an integral component which allows the parish to help subsidize our school's existence.

While you may work any shift you'd like, we do encourage the grade levels to take various weeks to cover. Please check out the grade level assigned weeks and maybe partner up with another family. Fish fries are a big and fun part of St. Charles Borromeo's fellowship!

Should you have to cancel your shift after you sign up, please find a replacement. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out to Heather Floodman at heatherfloodman@borromeoschool.com or (314)954-1116 . Thank you for helping fill over 400 shifts to make this year's fish fries a success!
