The next Student Council meeting is on Tuesday, January 23 (3:15-3:45).
Student Council is now collecting donations for the Muncie Mission’s Walk a Mile in My Shoes. Please bring in cash donations (any amount) to the office. We will collect donations until Friday, February 9, at 10:00AM.
Our 100th Day of school is now scheduled to be January 23 (not January 22).
I made a mistake in last week’s bulletin: the correct date for our Science Fair will be on Thursday, January 25, 6:00-7:30PM. All students will have a part in the fair, so every family should make every effort to attend.
Next Friday, January 26, is a Casual Dress Day. We ask that each student bring at least three boxes of macaroni and cheese to school to donate to the Saint Lawrence Church Emergency Food Pantry.
Next Friday, January 26, is an early-release day. Children will be dismissed at 1:00 and can be picked up at that time. Any child not picked up by 1:15 will go to After-School Care, but they will not be charged a fee as long as they are picked up by 3:15. Any child not picked up by 3:15 will be charged. Once in After-School Care, students may stay until 5:30 (the regular end time for After-School Care).
Catholic Schools Week (CSW) is January 26-February 3. We have many events planned that are designed to be fun and strengthen our faith. I’ll send out a full schedule today. We’ll need parent drivers that week, so please volunteer if you can.
The Pizza Lunchsponsored by Father Dave (originally set for January 12) will now be on Monday, January 29 (Monday of Catholic Schools Week). Pizza and drinks will be served to each child at no charge to families!
As a part of CSW, all SLCS families (including non-Catholic families) should plan to attend a special Mass at Saint Lawrence Church on Saturday, February 3, at 4:30PM. Students should wear “White Shirt Wednesday” clothes and sit up front. Students will participate in readings, serving, bringing up gifts, and choir.
Taylor University in Upland, Indiana, is hosting a Baseball Camp for boys and girls in grades 1-8. The camp is Sunday, February 4, 1:00PM-4:00PM. Cost is $25 per child. Contact Devin Wilburn with any questions (765) 716.6446.
Due to the cancellation on January 12, we are in session on Monday, February 19.
We will have Grade 3 after-school tutoring on February 19.
NEW THING: For this year’s yearbook, each family will be allowed to enter one “Shout-Out” to be printed in the yearbook at no charge. “Shout-Outs” might be something like: “Great Job this year, Billy and Stephanie! We’re so proud of you!” All SLCS families can submit a “Shout-Out”, you do not necessarily have to purchase a yearbook. All “Shout-Outs” will be due to the office by March 1, look for a bright yellow form to be sent home soon.
