Thankful Thursday October 31st

We had a truly happy Halloween celebration today, and look forward to celebrating Mass together for All Saint's Day! Thanks to the many families who contributed their time, talent and effort to make it an exciting and joyful day for our kids!

Our kids prayed throughout the month of October to be part of the Rosary Rally in the Archdiocese! After rosaries were said, we logged the number on the October Rosary Rally website, and a counter updates how many rosaries have been prayed during the rally so far.

Congrats to the following classrooms for praying the most rosaries this month:

1st = Mateljan (5th) with 768 Rosaries

2nd = Dela Merced (7th) with 276 Rosaries

3rd = Swanson (K) with 202 Rosaries

• All the volunteers helping in the Fine Arts Wing, cafeteria at lunch, concession stand or scoreboard, CathedralFest activities, coach fall sports, classroom parents, and everything else in between!
• Activities Booster Club for sponsoring field trip transportation, closet storage upgrades, new recess equipment, PreK mats, and meals for staff!

• Home & School for supporting our families by hosting Bingo Night, used uniform sale, monthly Dine Outs, refreshments after Class Mass, monthly staff birthday treats, and holiday festivities!
• Patience of all families as we continue to work through issues within the Blackbaud Tuition Management System.
  
• Father Hans who celebrated his birthday yesterday!
