St. Stan Star

Our Christmas Concert last Thursday was another successful one. The students did a fabulous job with singing their songs and playing instruments. We have such talented students! Thank you, Ms. Stumpe, for all your hard work in getting our students prepared for this event. Thank you, Mrs. Andrews, for sharing your gift of song. Thank you to everyone who came out to watch and listen to our students. Thank you for helping put up chairs after the evening performance. We are blessed to have such a great group of families, staff, students, and supporters of St. Stanislaus School!

PreK and Kindergarten Registration: PreK and Kindergarten registration will begin in January for the 2025-2026 school year. Information will be sent home with your child or mailed. Details will be in the STAR, the bulletin, and through email.

Witness Walk: Thank you to all our parent and staff volunteers that help with the students during the Witness Walk. We are blessed to have you!

December Staff Treat: Thank you to Luke and Leslie Wilbers for the Sonic drinks last Thursday. It was very refreshing!

Winter Market: We had so many vendors in our school on Saturday for the Winter Market. I bought way too much, but I love to support small businesses. Thank you to Home and School and Crystal Miller for organizing this event. Thank you to some of our students who helped set up, tear down, and helped vendors carry items to and from their vehicles.

Kindergarten Aide Position: We are looking for a kindergarten aide during Mrs. Stockman's maternity leave in mid to late January to about mid-April. Job description will be posted soon. Please contact Tina Forbis (tinaf@ststan.net or 573-636-7802) for more information.

Have a great weekend, and do not forget to spend some time with God.

Many blessings,

• WHAT IS SCRIP??? SCRIP is one of our most successful fundraisers at St Stanislaus. Scrip fundraising is a no-door-to-door-selling year-round fundraising program that allows us to raise money for St. Stanislaus School by using gift cards to pay for everyday purchases in place of cash, checks, and credit cards. SCRIP is a perfect way to fundraise without asking anyone to spend any extra money because it’s “worth every penny”. By selling scrip, our school is selling something that people use, want, or can gift without the inflated costs.
• How it works… Members like you purchase gift cards from St. Stanislaus Scrip Program at face value. Our coordinators order those cards from participating local and nationwide retailers at a reduced price. The difference is an instant rebate for our school. It’s really that simple!
• By using scrip to pay for your normal purchases, you can easily raise $ for the school and our families. Plus, 50% of the profits from their purchases (or orders sponsored to them) are applied to their registration fees at St Stanislaus or Helias the following year. Don’t have family at St Stanislaus or Helias? You can choose to sponsor a family, donate to ‘Family Assistance’, or give all profit to the school. It’s time to put your shopping dollars to work!
• Orders can be placed at RaiseRight.com, on the RaiseRight app, or by printing the form on our website Scrip - St. Stanislaus School • Wardsville, MO and sending it to school with a student, dropping off at school office/drop box, or by emailing scrip@ststan.net .
