Our students took part in a school-wide election a few weeks ago! They each voted for an upcoming dress down day. The votes were tallied, and the winner was Comfy Clothes Dress Down Day!
The "Comfy Clothes" dress down will be held this Friday, November 22nd. Comfy clothes must adhere to the dress code policy and can include sweatpants, sweatshirts, pajamas, and t-shirts.
Attention DeSales Swimmers: The Janet Federspiel DeSales Swim Team Scholarship applications are due on Friday, November 22nd. The application and guidelines for the scholarship can be found here.

In the case of inclement weather, the trot will be held on Tuesday the 26th. If you have any questions please email Connie Hornquist at hornquistc@desalescatolicschool.org.
Tuesday, November 26th will be DeSales 4th grader Colin's first morning back to school (his very favorite place to be) after completing chemotherapy. To celebrate Colin’s return to school, we are asking anyone that wants to, dress down in purple that day, or regular uniform. It would be wonderful for him to see such support from his DeSales family in his favorite color that day.

There is a collection box near the DeSales Main Office and books will be collected through Friday, December 13th.
Merry Moose Holiday Shop is coming to DeSales Catholic School on December 11, 12, and 13! The shop will offer a variety of gifts and price ranges to suit all your student's shopping needs.

Breaking News! This magical red box has appeared in front of the Kenan house (433 Locust St. Lockport, NY 14094). We discovered that any letters dropped inside get sent right to the North Pole where Santa reads them and responds! Stop by the Kenan house and drop any letters to Santa (before 12/15) in the magic red box. Every letter with a legible return address will get a response right from Santa Claus himself! We hope you have a happy holiday season!
