Dear
SJV Families,
The
weather this week has been awesome. The students have been able to go
outside for recess every day. Yesterday Father Kevin, Mrs. Swanson and I
took the 6th graders to the Pizza Ranch for lunch. They brought
in the most money per student for the marathon. I was very proud of their
behavior. Good job, 6th graders. Thank you to Mrs. Brau,
Mrs. Komaragiri, and Mrs. Quiring for driving and having lunch with us. It
was great to have you join us.
Our
book fair was a success. We made $2144.55. AWESOME!!! Thank
you SO much to all who attended, volunteered
your time to work, at selling, set up, and take down. A special
thanks to Connie Anthony for chairing this important event.
Next
Wednesday, we will have our Harvest Mass. Non-perishable grocery items,
and paper and hygiene products can be brought in by Wednesday, November 18th.
All donations will be given to our Hope Shop for the food shelves. Please
give what you can to those less fortunate.
Also,
next Wednesday is the parish Advent Adventure. It sounds like it will be a
great evening to spend with fellow parishioners. Be sure to register with
the Faith Formation office. There is a form in your Friday folder.
Next
Friday, Nov. 20th, SJV will have a float in the Glows Parade. The float is
a small trailer and so we are drawing two names each of 4th, 5th, and 6th
graders to ride on it. Thank you to Bob Petrowiak for chairing this.
The
students will begin basketball practice on Monday, November 30th. The cost
is $25 per student and it is important that
one parent comes to the parent/student/coaches meeting on Monday, November 23rd
at 6:30 PM. The 5th and 6th grade boys will practice from
after school until 4:30 PM on Mondays and Thursdays. The third and fourth
grade girls will practice on Mondays from 4:30-5:30 PM and Tuesdays after school
until 4:30 PM. The 3rd and 4th grade boys will
practice at 4:30 on Tuesdays, and right after school on Fridays. The 5th,
and 6th grade girls will practice from 4:30-5:30 PM on Thursday and Friday.
The players will either need to go home and return for practice at 4:30 PM
or go to Kidstop. One and one-half hours is too
long for a study hall without supervision. Please fill out the Kidstop
form if your student will be coming to Kidstop on Tuesday. Thanks.
Also we are asking if any parent is interested in being the cheerleading coach.
If we get a coach, we will invite students to cheer and try to have a squad.
Some students chose to do both BB and cheerleading and others pick one.
The
‘Gifts from the Heart” donations will be given at Mass on December 2nd.
Items may include toys, games, hygiene products and hats and mittens.
Please give what you can.
The
dinner/dance will be here before we know it. There are raffle tickets for
anyone who would like to purchase a ticket. Here is the chance to support
the school and possibly win $8,000. The dinner/dance is Saturday, January
30th. We have some great ideas for baskets. More information will be
coming soon.
Thank
you for bringing in all the used cartridges. We received a check this week
for $189.00. It all adds up and we appreciate your support.
Have
a nice weekend.
God’s
Blessings,
Principal
