1.  Congratulations to Corum Mo (8B) who has received a Presidential
        Scholarship to Holy Ghost Prep $32,000 ($8,000 annually)!  We       
        commend Corum, his loving and supportive parents, and the teachers
        who have guided him over the years.  Class of '21 Total: $655,300!
    2. Weather-wise, so far, tomorrow and Friday look okay for school to be
        open. Thursday remains iffy due to the possibility of rain/sleet after the
        initial snow fall of 3 to 5 inches during the afternoon and into the
        evening.  As we hear more specifics we will let you know the situation for
        Thursday. (Major concern is road conditions for safe travel and the
        teachers who live in areas of heavier snow fall ...) Your understanding will
        be greatly appreciated, as usual.
    3. Grade 8 students are reminded to have their Yearbook Profile, Baby
        picture, and the Connelly Achievement application in by this Friday. I
        would also ask parents to email me one or two sentences about your 8th
        grader, telling me what (wonders) he/she brings to your family.  Your
        quote will begin their profile.  Any time before the New Year would be       
        appreciated.  TY!
    4. The remaining days of this week will be dress-down days with the
        students being warm and comfortable.  (PJ's optional tomorrow.) Also,
       "Operation Christmas Spirit" items may still be brought in this week.
    5. The Christmas Painting Kits you ordered have been sent home and the
        kits of virtual/absent students may be picked up in the Faculty Room
        until 5:30 this week, as well as other items/books/schoolwork belonging
        to these students. TY! 
    6. Important updates will be preceeded by a blast on Option C!
    7. Please continue to pray for our special intentions and Covid relief...
