How can the end of the first quarter already be here? Hopefully, we have seen the last of the 90 degree weather, and it can start to feel like fall.
TRUNK OR TREAT: Home and School is hosting a Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 30, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Families will decorate their vehicles, park in the parking lot, and hand out candy/goodies to the students. The gym will be used in case of rainy weather.
Students may wear their costume to school that day.
Costume guidelines:
1) The costume must be comfortable enough to wear throughout the day and during recess and specials so an easy costume is the best option.
2) Costumes may not be violent or suggestive, promote drugs or alcohol, and should not have excessive blood or gore displayed, and not offensive to others.
3) Costumes may not have accessories or props that could be used as a weapon. No pretend "prop" weapons such as water pistols, knives, or swords are permitted.
4) No face paint, painting of skin, or masks.
5) Costumes should be appropriate for school, including length of shorts, skirts, and dresses, and have sleeves.
6) Tennis shoes must be worn.
Don't have a costume? You can wear a Halloween shirt with dress down bottoms.
GRANDPARENTS' DAY: Thank you to all the grandparents and special someones who celebrated with us last week. Grandparents certainly hold a special place in our hearts. We do have extra grandparent magnets if you did not get one. Contact the office if you would like us to send it home.
4th & 5th GRADE RETREAT: The 4th and 5th graders learned all about St. Carlo Acutis this week on their retreat. Thank you to all that played a part in making this day happen.
40th ANNIVERSARY ADORATION SINGERS: Students grades 3rd-8th grade who would like to help sing during the 40th Adoration Celebration, please be in the gym by 5:30 on Sunday, October 25, 2026.
CONFERENCES: Parent/Teacher conferences are set for Thursday, October 22rd. Meeting with your child's teacher is essential in creating a strong partnership between school and home. If you cannot make it in person, reach out to your child's teacher to set up a phone conference. Sign up using the link in The Star.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Tina Forbis, Principal
