Catholic Order of Foresters Marathon

Catholic Order of Foresters Marathon Turn-In days are Tuesdays.  Please keep working at getting those pledges.  Remember our goal this year is $12,000.  As of today, we have only brought in $292.  I know we can make our goal!

 

Magazine Sales

Today was our first prize day for magazines.  Keep trying to sell those magazines.  Our goal is $8000, I know we can make our goal!  Also, please note we DO NOT accept coupons for our magazine sale fundraiser.  This is a fundraiser and coupons take away from any profit that the school would receive.  Thanks so much for your attention to this!

 

Paper Usage

We are trying to conserve our paper usage this year and trying to reuse as much paper as possible.  Please do not be surprised if something comes home from your child/ren’s teacher with a strange back side, we are just reusing paper.  If you would like to receive the school newsletter in e-mail form instead of paper form, we would be happy to accommodate you.  Please let the school office know.  Thank you!

 

Wear St. Mary’s Shirts

To celebrate Homecoming, please wear your St. Mary’s shirts tomorrow.  Please remember to wear nice pants for church and you can always change out of them after mass.  If you don’t have a St. Mary’s shirt, please wear royal blue.

 

5th Grade to Environmental Fair

On Tuesday, September 22nd, the 5th Graders will be going to the Environmental Fair held at the Lyon County Fairgrounds in Marshall . 

 

Beginning of the Year forms

Please get all school forms sent into the office as soon as possible.  Thank you to everyone who has gotten their forms in already!

 

Dress for Mass Days

This is a reminder that we need to dress nicely for school Mass days.  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!

 

Pop Tab Houses

The Pop Tab Houses will be coming home this afternoon.  Thank you for supporting our service to the Ronald McDonald House in Sioux Falls .

 

4th Grade to Lamberton Research Station

On Thursday, September 24th, the 4th grade class will be going on a field trip to the Lamberton Research Station.

 

Scrap Metal

Please remember that as a fundraiser for a new playground, we are collecting aluminum cans.  There is also a covered wagon behind church just waiting for aluminum cans to be dropped off in.  Feel free to drop off any pop cans you have and they will be taken to Becker’s by Matt Surprenant.  Thank you for your support of our school!

 

SCRIP News

If you have trouble using a card please save the card and let Tammy Horner or Linnea Surprenant know so they can follow up.  They will need the serial number off the back of the card and the location you tried to use it.  This information is used when they try to track down SCRIP card problems.

 

A note from Fr. Bob

We have received word the the H1N1 virus is now in the Tracy Public School and therefore in our area and community.

If anyone is feeling ill they are to remain home.  It is recommended to remain home for 24 hours after the fever breaks and the treatment is over – although the CDC has said on TV that this is a long living flu virus as the person who has had it is still contagious and can spread the disease for 6 days after their symptoms are over.

Frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitizer is highly encouraged especially with the children, along with using disinfectant in the classrooms on desks, door knobs etc.  Use of tissues or coughing into the sleeve or elbow is encouraged to keep the spittle and phlegm from being airborne.  Fr. Bob
