Congratulations!
Congratulations
to Alex Schuh of Tracy, this week’s $100 weekly calendar raffle
winner. Thank you for supporting our school!
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!
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!
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!
St. Mary’s Wear
Some parents
requested information on reordering St. Mary’s Wear.
If you would like to order any new St. Mary’s shirts, you
can still order them online through Spirit and Pride.
You will also be able to see a color picture of the
Faculty/Staff wear and can order that if desired as well.
The web address is www.spiritandpride.com
. Once there, click on
ONLINE ORDERS and type in our school ID# 116732.
Follow the prompts.
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 4:00 p.m.
Thanks, Linnea Surprenant.
Target Take Charge of Education
Don’t forget
that Target has an opportunity for our school to earn money.
When you enroll in Take Charge for Education, Target will
donate up to 1% of your REDcard purchases to the eligible K-12
school of your choice. Get
started at Target.com/tcoe or call 1-800-316-6142.
Spring Conferences
Please remember
that Spring Conferences are next week, Tuesday, March 9th
and Thursday, March 11th.
Schedules came home last week.
If there are any conflicts and you know you won’t be able
to make your scheduled time, please call the school office and we
would be more than happy to help you reschedule for a new time.
Thank you!
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/
St.
Mary’s Round-Up early this year.
Round-up is scheduled for Friday, March 19th.
If you know of anyone whose child is entering Kindergarten
next year or even the following school year 2011-2012, please invite
them to attend our Kindergarten/St. Mary’s Round-Up.
Everyone is invited to celebrate Mass with us that morning at
8:30 a.m. and the parent meeting will begin in our school library at
9:45 a.m. After a short
presentation by Mrs. Otto, the pre-schoolers will go with her for
their experience in the Kindergarten room and the parents will
remain in the library to have their meeting with Mrs. Neuman.
The experience for pre-schoolers will end about 11:15 a.m.
and then everyone is welcome to join the rest of the school body
during lunch in the church basement.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the
school office.
