School Store Script Program
We launched our school store script program. Thank you (ahead of time!) for your participation in the School
Store Online Script Program. This will help Holy Rosary as you shop online. The winner of the inflatable robot
will be drawn next week. Our school will have a chance to win a playground fun scape and each family that
participates could win $10,000 or $5,000 for their child’s classroom.
Fall Raffle and Potluck
Our annual fall raffle will be held at the Holy Rosary Family Pot Luck on Saturday Oct. 17. Grand Prize is
$7,000. Second Prize is $1,000. 1 ticket is $2 or 3 tickets for $5. Bring a dish and enjoy good fellowship in
the Parish Hall beginning at 6 PM.
Silent Auction
One of our largest fundraisers, the Silent Auction, will happen Sat. Nov. 7. I invite all parents to attend.
Tickets are $30 per person. You get a delicious meal and the chance to bid on live auction as well as “silent”
items. It is an absolutely great way to start on your Christmas shopping! There are plenty of items for
everyone in the family – from toys & bikes for the kids, to jewelry and a “girls’ night out” for the women; to
hunting scopes, golf outings and tools for the men. We will also be raffling off the class projects made by the
students. Come and join us in the fun!
