Hello!

You should have received an email earlier today with important information about Tuition Agreements, Financial Aid, and EITC. Please be sure to review it carefully, contacting Mrs. St. Amant with any questions.

Thank you to Ashlee Brookens for her donation of a microwave for the faculty room!

It's Lent! As we journey through this sacred season of Lent, our school community is embracing prayer, fasting, and giving in meaningful ways. We encourage you to join us.

.

Pray, Fast, Give

Students have been taught the significance of these words and each student has chosen the following throughout Lent:

• A way to pray more, such as saying one decade of the rosary each day or reading a new Bible story each week;
• Someone or something they will pray for, like their families or that no one goes hungry;
• Something to fast from, whether it be sweets, screen time, or arguing with their siblings;
• A way to give, beyond monetary donations - such as doing an extra chore, writing letters to family, or spending intentional time together.

Create a clean heart in me, O God - Psalm 51:10

In speaking with the local food banks about their growing needs, we have chosen to help them in a specific way this Lent. More information about the project can be found below. We invite families to contribute by donating much-needed paper and hygiene products to support the Bellefonte and Snow Shoe Food Banks.

Join us in spending time with our Lord and learning more about Adoration at our Family Adoration Night on April 7. See the flyer below for more information. We hope to see many of you there for a beautiful evening of prayer and reflection!

Have a wonderful day!

Sincerely in Christ,

Mrs. Tice

We are again participating in the CRS collection during Lent. In order to be good stewards of paper, we are using inventory from previous years and several different designs of collection boxes ("bowls") went home last week. All of the money donated will go to Catholic Relief Services regardless of the box that your student(s) received.

These boxes are due to the office after Easter. Thank you for supporting CRS in its 50th year of Lenten Rice Bowls!

Gardners Candies Easter candy order forms have been sent home. Orders and money are due to the school office by Monday, March 17, 2025, and pick-up will be Friday, April 4, 2025.

You can also provide friends and families with our Saint John School Group No: 10-0987 so that they can order through the online catalogue, if preferred. These orders will ship directly to the buyer.

Pricing is the same as the Gardners store and Saint John School can earn up to 40% on each sale. Thank you for your support of this school fundraiser.

The After School Care Enrollment link is now available for March 10 -14

https://forms.gle/mZwFT8aND8nAN8Em8

If you are planning to have your child utilize the After School Care Program during this time, we ask that you register them using this link by 12:00 p.m. on Friday, March 6.

As a reminder, you only need to complete the form if your child(ren) will be attending After School on at least one of these days. Thank you!

Mrs. Weiser is asking you to save your empty cereal boxes for the art project for March. She is hoping to get one per child. If you can send into the school by 3/10, Mrs. Weiser would appreciate it

Thank you to all families and community members who made contributions for our Book BINGO this week. We were able to host a fun-filled morning and send each student home with a few new (to them) books as prizes. A special thank you to Mr. Levandoski for serving as BINGO caller.

Please join us as we pray for the special intentions of the F. Packer and Diehl families, as well as those of Mr. Holter and his family.

Saint Joseph,
Patron Saint of Families,

Pray for Us.
