Schwan’s Truckload

This year, we once
again have an opportunity to have our Schwan’s purchases benefit St.
Mary’s School! Our
truckload sale is taking place on Friday, February 5th from
11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Everyone
is invited to buy what they would like from the Schwan’s truck and St.
Mary’s receives a percentage of the return.

are available for your purchase. Pre-Order
forms need to be turned into the school office by Monday, February 1st.
No money is needed now all payments are made on February 5th.
St. Mary’s Basketball
Come cheer on the
Echoes! Our next game is
Sunday, January 24th at 1:30 p.m. against Balaton here at St.
Mary’s. Based on the
weather forecast, there is a concern that the game may not happen.
Please listen to
Marshall
radio channels, KKCK 99.7 FM or KMHL 1400AM
or look on www.marshallradio.net
for any cancellations or postponements.
Also, please remember to pick your children up from practice on
time each Tuesday and Thursday. Practice
ends at 5:00 p.m. and our coaches have other things they need to get to,
thank you for your help in this matter!
Report Cards
Due to some late
starts, early outs, and days off of school, the teaching staff needs
some extra days to finish work and grades.
Report cards will come home on Friday, January 29th
instead of Wednesday, January 27th.
Thank you!
Catholic Schools Week
A list of events for
Catholic Schools Week will come home next week.
Keep in mind that all of our students participate in the opening
and closing masses by singing and lectoring
on January 31st and February 7th.
Our parent lunch is Wednesday, February 3rd at 11:30
and Friday, February 5th is our Talent Show.
Everyone is welcome to join us for any events.
Morning Drop-Off
Please remember to
leave room for everyone who drops off their child/ren
each morning. Please park so
that you are not blocking the sidewalk.
We have a small area to work with now that the snow piles are so
large; there is no room to move around cars blocking the sidewalk.
Please be considerate of others!
January Service Project
Our service project
for January is Pennies for
Patients which helps fundraise for the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society. We will kick off
our service project on Monday, January 18th.
Students are encouraged to bring in their change.
We will have a competition between the boys and the girls to see
who brings in the most pennies. Our
competition ends on Friday, January 29th.
Thank you to those who have already brought in money.
So far we have brought in $31 and the girls are in the lead. J
Parish Meeting
The parish meeting
has been rescheduled for next Wednesday, January 27th at 7:00
p.m. All parents who weren’t
able to make the parent meeting are invited to attend this meeting.
If you were able to make it to the parent meeting but have more
to share, you are welcome to come again.
SCRIP Lunch Phone Calls
All 4th
and 5th grade students were asked to make phone calls
inviting our SCRIP businesses to lunch during Catholic Schools Week.
Please make sure that all phone calls are finished by Wednesday,
January 27th so that we can let Mrs. LaVoy know how many
people will be coming to lunch. If
your 4th or 5th grader is having a hard time
reaching their business person, please bring the sheet back to the
office and we can help them reach their individual.
Dress for Mass Days
This is a reminder
that we need to dress nicely for school Mass days.
Lately, I’ve noticed our students wearing sweatpants,
sweatshirts, and ripped jeans to church.
This is not appropriate church wear.
Please remind your child/ren to dress
nicely and if needed their teachers will allow them to change into
different clothes after
Mass.
Thank you!
Mass with Bishop LeVoir
Bishop LeVoir
will be joining us for Mass on Tuesday, January 26th at 8:30
a.m. Everyone is invited to
join us in worship that morning. After
Mass, the Bishop will be visiting each of the classrooms and is joining
the students for lunch at 11:00 that morning.

Mary’s Wear Orders
