A Note from Susan
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Wow! What a week. "Spring Fling" proved to be quite an experience…fun, exhausting, fun, challenging, fun, creative, and fun. I was ready to give up after 'Wacky Wednesday', but Thursday’s' Dress Your Best' for Grandparents Tea returned some sanity to the daily routine. We have so many people to thank for helping with all the activities this week….Art Show, Book Fair, Jogathon, Grandparents Tea, Spirit Week, 7th Grade Bake Sale, and First Communion on Sunday. (Did I forget anything?) And a big thank you to the chairs of all these events. They don’t just happen on their own. Only when generous people step forward to lead……Thank you so much.
Now on to next year…… Please take a look in your child’s Friday Folder for a large manila envelope. Mrs. Rosebrook is sending home the “summer packet” with more forms to fill out than should be allowed, but each very important to the operation of the school. I think you are going to need the entire weekend to complete them! That is a slight exaggeration, but there is some truth to it. However, please have pity on Angela who has to sort and record all the information. Please, please, please, take some time and fill out the forms and return them as soon as possible. I don’t want Angela to be here until July processing. Let me offer an incentive that seemed to work last year. The first 20 people who put their entire completed (no missing forms) packet in Angela’s hands will get a little gift card to Starbucks. Thanks so much for your prompt response.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Susan
