You deserve a day off, how about Monday. Please remember there is no school Monday – Columbus Day. There will be no After School Care on Monday. Speaking of Mondays, this past Monday was a great Picture Day. We started our day together in prayer at an all-school Mass in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary, and everyone looked wonderful as we posed for school pictures throughout the day. Picture retake day is scheduled for November 11. We will be making an effort the next two weeks to gather any missing paperwork from the beginning of the year, including any missing EdChoice forms. If you have forms that need to be returned, please do so asap! Looking ahead to the end of October, we will be celebrating Halloween this year with a school costume parade and classroom parties. October 31 will be the last Friday of the month, as well as the last day of the first quarter, therefore a Spirit Day. Students will be out of uniform if they choose to participate with a prayer &/or $1 donation to charity. Students will not wear costumes to school. They should bring their costumes with them – they will have time to change before the parade. We will need several parents to volunteer in the classrooms that day. And parents, grandparents and siblings are encouraged to come watch the parade! It is sure to be a fantastic time. NO SCHOOL - Columbus Day, October 13. PTO General Meeting – Thursday, October 16.
