St. Cecilia Spotlight - Sept 25

Today in your Wednesday folder you will receive a small manilla envelope that contains a copy of the Outline of the Catholic Faith Book and a letter from Fr. Harry. Please take the time to read through this book and keep it in a safe place.

October 4th at 1 PM - This event is open to school and parish families. The event will take place in the upper lot outside of school. Guests and pets will line up in a designated area to be blessed by Fr. Harry. We ask all guests to park in the lower lot along the perimeter in order for us to prepare for dismissal.

For the safety of our students, staff, and guests - no students are permitted to stand with animals that are not from their household. Once your pet has been blessed, students are asked to return back with their class.

Parents that worked a total of 8 hours or more earned their child(ren) 2 out-of-uniform days and 1 no homework pass. Homeroom teachers have received a list of these students and will communicate this information to you. If you feel your child should have received this benefit, please email Kathleen Bell from the festival committee. The school does not determine this information.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT VOLUNTEERED!

• Out-of-Uniform Date #1: Friday, September 27, 2024
