We need to keep selling tickets to our Mystery Dinner/Auction on February 9. This fun and unique event is an important fundraiser for our school. Please consider participating and be sure to promote the event with co-workers, family and friends. Order tickets at:

Thank you for your participation in the Advent Program on Monday evening. We counted 45 students (out of 56), and 160 adult guests, which is a fabulous crowd. Our Food Drive winner was Team Robbins, who earned a Christmas Party today. Team Robbins had 1,533 points.

The Grade 4-5 Field Trip to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum is TOMORROW. A flyer was sent home this week highlighting the critical need for Mystery Dinner sponsors. We have two already, but we need a lot more! PLEASE talk with family and friends, bosses and co-workers about a sponsorship.

Happy Saint Nicholas Day! We learned about this important fourth-century church leader today, and every child received some candy to celebrate. Additionally, students in grades K-1-2 received a coloring mat that can be colored with markers, and students in grades 3-4-5 received a religious medal.

If you are interested in having your child(ren) participate in 4-H, you may want to attend an Open House at the Purdue Extension Office, 100 West Main Street (Room 202), tomorrow. The Open House will last from after school until 6:00 pm. If you cannot attend this Open House, there will be another one on January 9, 2018.

I am happy to announce a big addition to our Shop with Scrip Program. Starting with the December 4 order, we are now selling Pizza King gift cards in $5 denominations! If you wish to order these, just write “Pizza King” on our orange order form and state how many cards you would like.

The next Parent-Teacher Organization (P.T.O.) meeting is today (not tomorrow). Meetings are held at school, from 6:30PM until 7:30PM. This Friday is a Casual Dress Day.

If your child is going to be absent, please call the office as early as possible in the morning. Also, if you need to pick up your child early, call the office in advance. This helps the teacher have homework ready and is far less disruptive to the class.

Happy All Saints Day! The children did a wonderful job at Mass this morning. Donuts for Dads is tomorrow. Join us in the cafeteria and have free breakfast with your child(ren). This event is open to any man who serves as a positive role model to our students. Men are encouraged to stay for morning gathering (8:05-8:15) to see how we begin each day with scripture and prayer.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are today and tomorrow. Quarter 1 grade reports will be handed out during conferences. To sign-up for a time, click on the large green “Parent | Teacher Conferences” button on our school website.

Saint Lawrence has once again earned an “A” rating from the Indiana Department of Education. We’ve now been an “A” school seven years in a row! I am especially proud of this because we minister to a student population with a wide range of abilities. This is a testament to our students, teachers, and parents.

Tonight at 7:00PM, Mr. Frey will host a Tax Credit Scholarship Information Session at Saint Agnes Hall (301 South Hackley). This will explain how donations can benefit our students, as well as result in a major tax credit for donors. Our trip to Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo is tomorrow.
