They are celebrating by holding a celebratory mass with the Archbishop on October 22nd at 11am. Everyone is invited! They will also be holding a special raffle on that day for cash prizes. The BEST part is that 100% of the profits from the raffle are dedicated to our gym renovations!! Raffle tickets are available in the school or church office for $5 (If you buy 4 tickets, we will credit you 1 service hour!). Good luck & thank you for your support!!  On Thursday, we will have a free vision screening for all students.  A trained optician will visit our school and screen all of the students enrolled. It is a non-invasive procedure that requires no contact. All students who fail the screening will go on to have a FREE exam and will receive FREE glasses if they need them! If you would like to opt-out of this screening, please fill out the form that will be sent home tomorrow (Wednesday).  Would you like to get some service hours? Here is a list of books that our teacher add to through the school year. Every $30 spent from our wishlist is equal to 1 hour. Thank you! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/1dzqZYu?ref=cm_sw_em_r_un_un_Igb6BKP9P4kDt REMINDERS FROM LAST WEEK: We will be having a parent zoom workshop on September 14 (Thursday) at 6pm for parents in Preschool-2nd grade- "Early Literacy & Numeracy Skills".
