A MESSAGE FROM MRS. MEYMANN
September 23, 2016
Tonight is the Parish Picnic at Stricker’s Grove! What better way to
celebrate the end of summer than spending the evening riding rides with
your friends and family and eating yummy picnic food under the stars?
The fun begins at 5:00 p.m. This event is FREE, however donations are
gladly accepted to offset the cost to the parish for renting the amusement
park for the evening. Canned good donations are also being accepted at
the door and will benefit St. Vincent de Paul. I hope to see you there!
Our School Fundraiser, the Walk-a-Thon, is fast approaching and we
are nearing our goal of $16,000. Mr. Morgeson’s 6th grade homeroom
continues to lead the school as the top fundraisers. Who will surpass
them? Will we meet our goal? Will our students earn 5 Mondays of out
of uniform days in October? Will we raise enough funds to keep
presenting terrific programs to our kids such as COSI on Wheels, as we
have for the past few years?
Sunday’s Gospel
LK 16:19-31
‘…If they will not listen to
Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be
persuaded if someone should
rise from the dead.’”
Ask your child what they learned this week during their 90 minutes
with COSI? Implementing this particular, educational assembly requires
the help of many parent volunteers. Thank you to all who joined us and
oversaw a table in the gymnasium so all students could investigate the
hands on learning experiences intended to teach children about the
human body. Extra appreciation to PTC chairperson, Cindy Abrams for
coordinating our volunteers and the COSI program for our students.

Early Release
For the safety and comfort of everyone…. remember to escort your
child to the office to be signed in and obtain a late pass if they arrive
after 8:50 a.m. At 8:50 a.m., outside doors are programmed to lock and
morning announcements begin. Younger students may need to be
walked to their classroom after being signed in, as many do not know
how to get to their classroom from the office and we do not permit
students to cross between buildings all alone. At afternoon dismissal,
those picking up car riders should enter our parking lot by 3:25 p.m.
Cones are placed across entrances at that time to protect our kindergarten
students as they exit the buildings to meet cars or buses.
