The Central Catholic Saints
Week ending October 28th, 2023
What a beautiful week it has been!
It has been such a great week! The weather has been amazing and the students have enjoyed their time at recess! It is such a glorious sound to hear the students playing with their friends at recess!
Thank you to all that donated baby items this week! We were able to collect $186 and so many baby items. Today the 8th grade will take them over to Good Shepherd Church. Good Shepherd will deliver the baby items to Birth Line.
All Souls Alter
Today we began to set up the alter.
Your student may bring their Ofrenda's in to place on the altar.
Tuesday October 31st - Halloween
We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween, we would also like to remind everyone that students may NOT dress up for Halloween at school. Please do NOT wear costumes or face paint to school. Students are not to bring candy or treats to school on Tuesday. This is a regular day of school at Central Catholic.
Also, we ask that students do not bring their candy to school after Halloween.
(Our Pre K students do dress up in the morning for their costume parade.)

Safe Haven Baby Boxes
A Baby Box is a safety device provided for under state’s Safe Haven Law and legally permits a mother in crisis to safely, securely, and anonymously surrender if they are unable to care for their newborn. A Baby Box is installed in an exterior wall of a designated fire station or hospital. It has an exterior door that automatically locks upon placement of a newborn inside the Baby Box, and an interior door which allows a medical staff member to secure the surrendered newborn from inside the designated building.
