All proceeds will go to the Lafontaine Family.

It has been so cold outside that we have not been able to go outside for recess. Please make sure you are packing appropriate winter clothing for the days we are able to go outside for recess (jacket, hat, gloves)

A reminder that gym uniforms include the sweatpants. Student may wear the shorts under the pants for gym class but shorts alone are not part of the winter wear.

Weather Alerts: Thank you for having children already in coats at drop off and to those who came on time to get our staff back inside out of the frigid temperatures. 25 min. doesn't sound like a long time but standing in the cold temperatures 5 min. feels like an hour :( We try to expedite the process in the afternoon as well so having your signs is very helpful.

Or try out our new pilot program on Monday afternoons:

Club Invention

Your child will:

Explore medieval history, basic scientific principles and hands-
on creativity in Castles, Catapults and Coats of Arms!

Explore the effects of Archimedes’ principle by sculpting clay boats
that float across a moat while supporting cargo. Apply science and engineering principles to the construction of a
castle wall.

Register Here!

If you have any questions about either program, please email me at coconnor@stisidoreschool.com.

Hello St. Isidore Families!

As you know, the 2025 St. Isidore School Auction is being held on Saturday, March 1, 2025 from 6:30 to 11:00 pm! Tickets are currently on sale for $50 each and can be purchased until February 28, 2025 at 12 noon … unless we sell out earlier!

The link to purchase tickets is: https://one.bidpal.net/izzyauction2025

If you have special seating requests, please please make sure to designate that in the comments section when purchasing. If you have already purchased your tickets and forgot to add a special request, reach out to us via email. We try very hard to accommodate everyone's request!

Raffles & Auction Items

First and foremost, THANK YOU for all the very generous donations and amazing classroom raffle baskets! Large events like this don't happen on their own, and we are so blessed to have families, friends, and teachers who have helped in many different ways to support this event!

Fun Fact … You do not need to be at the event to bid on an auction item or enter to win a raffle basket!

Auction Bids - To be able to bid on an auction item from home, you need to create a bidpal account. To create an account, visit this link , and in the top right corner, you will click “sign in” and continue to follow the prompts. You must be logged into this account to bid on items when the time comes. Feel free to invite your families and friends to create an account and bid from afar too!

Raffles - In addition to tickets being available for purchase at the event, we will be sending home a flyer to school families that will allow them to purchase raffle tickets ahead of the event. Keep on the lookout for the info to come home with your kiddo soon!

New This Year … Auction items will be grouped and will close in sequence, rather than all at one time.

This means there will be groups of auction items that will close at different times throughout the night. If you miss the first round of item closings, you will have another chance to win something in the next group!

Cash/Credit Tickets

There is still time to enter the Cash/Credit raffle! $1,000 cash or $1,500 tuition credit! Need more tickets to sell/purchase? CLICK HERE!

Volunteers are still needed!
