Service Projects for the Year
This year the
students came up with the different service activities they wanted
St. Mary’s students to do. Our
list this year includes: Thanksgiving Meal for the Tracy Food
Shelf (10-12 meals this year), Toy Donation for the Tracy Food
Shelf, Pennies for Patients, Valentines
for the Guatemalan Mission, and March Food Drive.
This year we are once again focusing on our Guatemalan
Mission for
Mission
Tuesday. We are going
to also try and write letters to the students at the
Mission
School
and become penpals with their
students.
Beginning of the Year forms

school forms sent into the office as soon as possible.

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.
