Our Backpack Buddies Lenten project is in full swing. The upcoming Spring Break is a great time to go mow some lawns, wash some windows, pick up litter or whatever you can do to earn donations from your family and neighbors. Once you have the donations bring them into school. We are collecting the funds each day. I know that a couple of classes have collected some pretty good donations, so keep up the service. We will total everything up and provide a check to the Mini Vinnies after Lent.

As declared by our Principal for the Day, Penelope Ovlia, March 18th will be a dress down day for all students. Per Ms. Ovlia, students can dress down, but must follow the dress down policy in the school handbook.

Have a blessed Spring Break! We will see you on Monday, March 18th.

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

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!
