In April we are going to celebrate one of the best events of the school year, Grandparents Day. We will be sending more detailed information in the coming weeks, but here is a summary. Grandparents will be invited to come and visit the school on Friday, April 5th, which is a half day. Our doors will open for Grandparents at 10:30 am. We will have activities, opportunities to visit classrooms, a photo booth in the gymnasium, and opportunities to walk around the school. After grandparents have finished visiting with their grandchildren, they are invited to take them home from school. Otherwise, students are dismissed at noon that day. We are so excited to share our mission with our Bobcat grandparents!

Be on the lookout for the Home and School Association Highlights. This is a brand new publication from the Home and School that outlines all of the great events they have put on this year. There are still a few more events to come this year, but Jill Kesler and her team have done an extraordinary job with student events, teacher appreciation, and fostering that strong relationships of families and the school.

Also, don't forget our new website! We are really proud of it and it has some great new features that we will be utilizing moving forward. www.borromeoschool.com. Have a great weekend!

Definition: Patriotism is paying due honor and respect to your country, with a willingness to serve.

St. Louis IX was a great French king who combined his love of Christ and the Church with a willingness to serve his country.

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!
