1. We warmly welcome our students back gradually as they begin a new school year!  Parent meetings this evening are in the classrooms for Grades 2, 3, 4, & 5 at 6:30.  (Grades 2B, 1st landing, 2C, 5A, 5B, 5C, 2nd floor, & 5D 3rd floor, may enter through the gym doors.  Grades 2A, 3A, 3B, 4A, 4B, & 4C may enter the side or front doors and proceed to the second floor, Grade 3C  to the first floor.)
2. The Uniform Swap is at the gym lobby and will be available until school resumes in September. (No need to bring something to get something.)
3. Graduation DVD’s are available in the school office.
4. Continue to pray for our special intentions, particularly Joe Leighthardt, Mrs. Denise Herens, Mrs. Marianne Costello, Braeden Most, Amanda, Mrs. O’Neil’s (Pre-k4B) mother who is ill & whose brother-in-law passed away, the grandmother of Christopher and Tyler Zampirri,  the uncle of Mrs. McKenna (4A), the grandmother of Miss Rizzo (1D) and our former parish business manager and OLC teacher, Jim Weltz, who all passed away.   Also pray for the safety off all those affected in any way during this dangerous Hurricane season…
5. Lysol wipes are preferred for the classrooms because they are BoxTop products.  Also, if you frequent BJ’s stores, please go to BJsBoxTops.com for information about a contest to help local schools compete to win 5,000 Box Tops.  We will be using our earnings from these products to upgrade the playground equipment in our Tot Lot.
6. Snack orders for next week: 5 days.
7. School Mall Program: As students who participate complete their booklets, they may return them at any time by next Friday.  TY!
