View this email in your browser A Note from the Principal Good morning! Our Jog-a-Thon "Bounce-a-Thon" was a HUGE success! Thank you to each an every parent who came to volunteer or just to cheer & to everyone who collected donations for our school! We raised $27,295.00 in donations and $4,765 with our shirt sale for a total of $32,060!! This exceeded our goal of $30,000! Yay! The profits from this fundraiser will go toward upgrading school facilities. (It will take up to two weeks to see service hours and donations reflected in schoolspeak. Thank you for your patience) We are in need of Halloween donations of candy and small toys to pass out during out trunk or treat. If you can, please donate a bag of peanut-free candy or small toys to the school office for servicer hours. Thank you~  The church needs volunteers for Fr. Antonio's farewell mass and dinner. If you are looking for evening or weekend hours- this event is for you! Please sign up on schoolspeak if you're interested.

Mrs. Giron  THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century Digital Resource: Dangers of Location Sharing  Your location is one of the most dangerous pieces of information about yourself if it’s in the wrong hands. Unfortunately, convincing kids to share their location is a common grooming tactic we’ve seen before. That’s why kids should know to never share their location, the school they attend, or any other location-specific information with strangers online.  Quicklinks: Uniforms: https://www.dennisuniform.com/schools/SH00JF https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/16TU760L52XNI?ref_=wl_share Tuition Payments: (866) 441-4637  https://online.factsmgt.com/SignIn.aspx  School Calendar:  HERE and on our website Parent Student Handbook: HERE Hot Lunch: https://ali-cateringservice.com/october-st-jane-frances-de-chantal-school/ After School Care phone number: (818) 233-0763⁩ Save the Date Mon 10/7: No School Columbus/ Indigenous People's Day Tues: Pajama Day incentive for Jog-a-Thon Wed: World Kindness Day (Wear orange tops and school bottoms) Fri: 12:30 dismissal Saturday: Fr.

His longtime desire to visit as many sites of Eucharistic miracles as possible was cut short by his illness. Carlo died in 2006 and was beatified in 2020. Blessed Carlo Acunis, pray for us.
