Congratulations!

Congratulations to Sammy Lessman of Tracy, this week’s $100 weekly calendar raffle winner. Thank you for supporting our school!

 Snow Make-Up Days

I just received the word from Mr. Marlette on the scheduled make-up days for the snow days when we missed school.  This is the plan:                 

*  CPT days in March, April, and May are no longer late starts.  School will start on time.

                        *  There will be school on March 15th and April 5th.

                        *  The last day of school is a full day instead of a half day.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school office.  Thanks ~ Mrs. Neuman

 Spring Conferences

Coming home with today’s newsletter are the conference schedules for spring conferences.  We will hold spring conferences on Tuesday, March 9th and Thursday, March 11th.  Please remember that we hold conferences earlier than 4th quarter because this gives the teachers and parents time to address any issues with students that will need longer than the last quarter to resolve themselves.  If there are any conflicts and you can’t make your scheduled conference time, please call the school office and we will be happy to help you try and reschedule your conference.

 Basketball Banquet

St. Mary’s Echoes Basketball Players and their parents are invited to the annual basketball banquet on Sunday, March 7th at 1:30 p.m. in the church basement.  We’re going to have cake and snacks this year instead of a potluck.  Please join us and help celebrate a great year of basketball playing!

 Schwan’s Truckload Fundraiser

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Schwan’s truckload sale!  We received a check from Schwan’s for $296.08.  We wouldn’t have been able to raise that amount without everyone’s help.  Thank you!

 SCRIP News

Keep using the SCRIP program to earn money towards your tuition costs.  It is easy to use and if you have any questions call Linnea at 629-4745 or 829-8437 or talk to Robin in the office.  If we increase SCRIP, we can depend less on fundraisers!

  Office Check-In

Please remember to check-in at the office when you come to school during the school day.  This is not only for the security of the school, but also to keep classroom disturbances down to a minimum.  Thank you so much for your help with this matter!  We’ll see you the next time you stop by! J

Lenten Fish Fry

The Fish Fry is scheduled for Friday, March 12th from 5 – 7 p.m. at IHM in Currie.  Please be willing to help out when called to work.  The fish are fried outside so you won’t smell like fish if you help in the basement so no excuses! J  We plan to serve the Baked Potato Bar as an entrée as well.  Help support our school.  Stations of the Cross will be said at 7:00 p.m.  Thanks, Linnea Surprenant.

Mission Mass with Monsignor Schaeffer

On Sunday, March 14th at 2:00 p.m. in Milroy at St. Michael’s Church, there will be a celebration of Monsignor Schaeffer’s 50th Ordination Anniversary.  Monsignor Schaeffer and others who have been on trips to the mission in Guatemala will be there for the celebration.  The students at St. Mary’s School have been invited to sing a song in Spanish after communion that afternoon.  Please let the school office know if your child can sing at Mass that afternoon. So far, we have a couple of students signed up, but we need more who can help.  Thanks!

 Stations of the Cross

Please join us each Friday afternoon in the church for Stations of the Cross at 2:00 p.m.  Everyone is welcome to attend!

 Kindergarten Round-Up

We will be having our Kindergarten Round-Up early this year.  Kindergarten round-up is scheduled for Friday, March 19th.  If you know of anyone whose child is entering Kindergarten next year, please invite them to attend our Kindergarten Round-Up.  More information is coming soon!
