We want to remind you that our upcoming Harvest Festival is an important fundraiser to help close the school's operational deficit. Your support is crucial to the success of this event.

Students will need to purchase tickets, which will be available for sale at the entrance, to participate in the games. These tickets will be used for all the booth games and the haunted house.

So that you know, food and drinks can be purchased separately using either cash or card.

We look forward to your participation and appreciate your ongoing support!

Event: 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Candy: We require every student to bring at least 2 pounds of candy to donate to their classroom for the Candy Wars. The winning class will be decided by dividing the total pounds of candy by the number of students in that class. The winning class will get a donut party sponsored by the school.

If you want to receive service hours for your candy, you must submit your receipt.

Food: Tacos & Aguas Frescas (Cash or Card)

Drinks: Water, Soda, Beer, and Seltzers (Cash or Card)

Sweets & Drinks: 8th grade sale (cash only)

Trunk or Treat: Only ten spots are available. Use the Donation sign-up at the bottom to register for a place.

Booths: Each grade gets one booth with a tent, a table, and two chairs. (Tickets)

The room parents work hard to organize themes and games for their respective booths in cooperation with the teacher. We encourage you to sign up with your student's room parents to help work the booth and earn service hours, a great way to contribute to the event and your community.

Service Hours: If you would like your donation to your classroom booth to count for service hours, you must bring the receipt, and the school must keep the items after the event.

Parent Costume Contest: We encourage parents to dress up for a costume contest. There will be prizes for the top three costumes.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to unite in support, hope, and action. Let's raise awareness, encourage early detection, and celebrate the strength of survivors and fighters everywhere. Whether by learning more, supporting loved ones, or contributing to research, we can all play a part in the fight against breast cancer. Together, we honor those affected, uplift those in need, and work towards a future where no one faces this battle alone. Every step forward brings us closer to a cure—hope is powerful, and so are we!

• We will have school mass on Friday, 11/1/24.
• Students can dress up as saints or wear their professional mass uniforms.

• Students who need to take their pictures must wear their mass uniform for the makeup day.
• Families who did not like the first set of photos can retake them on the makeup day for no additional cost. You must bring the photo packet and return it to the company.
• Students can change into regular school uniforms after pictures are done.
• If students are participating in the $1 Dodger fundraiser, they can change into their Dodgers jersey after pictures are done.

Submit payment to the homeroom teacher. The 8th grade will collect the funds at the end of the day.

We are honored to invite you and your family to join us for a special Veterans Tribute Mass as we pray and thank the brave men and women who have served our country. This Mass is an opportunity for our school community to show appreciation for the sacrifices made by veterans and their families.

We encourage you to invite any veterans in your family or circle of friends to attend as we recognize their service during the Mass.

Thank you for helping us honor those who have given so much for our freedom. We look forward to seeing you there!

We would like to remind you that the first trimester of the school year will officially conclude on November 8, 2024. It has been a productive and rewarding few months, and we are proud of the progress our students have made.

Report cards will be sent home shortly after the trimester ends, and we encourage you to take time to review them with your child. This is an important milestone, and a great opportunity to reflect on their achievements and set goals for the next trimester.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child’s education. If you have any questions or would like to meet with your child’s teacher, please don't hesitate to reach out.

This is a reminder that school will be closed on Monday, November 11, 2024, in observance of Veterans Day. We take this day to honor and express our gratitude for the service and sacrifices of the brave men and women who have served in our armed forces.

Classes will resume on Tuesday, November 12. We hope you enjoy this time with your families and join us in remembering and thanking our veterans.

Report Cards will be sent home on November 12, 2024.
