JUICE IT UP: LAST CHANCE TO PRE – ORDER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. Pre-order for Juice It Up! We will have 7 Juice It-Up days left over the course of the school year. The pre-order option was such a success last year so we are bringing it back!! We are offering an option to order all 7 monthly Juice it Up days upfront. We have extended this option for October, but this is the last opportunity to buy them all at once. If you take advantage of this option you will no longer need to remember to place your order every month. If you do not wish to take advantage of this option you may continue to order by month as we have in the past. Smoothies will be served before students enter the lunchroom this year. Please see attached Juice It Up Flyer for additional information.

Earn SOS hours for your participation. If you are interested, please contact Deacon Tom & Kim Driscoll at tjdjkcd@outlook.com. AMAZON SMILE: ! AmazonSmile; You Shop, Amazon Gives!! !

MESSAGE FROM MRS. MAR: As I reflect back upon this last weekend's Harvest Fest I am filled with a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for all the individuals who helped put on a very successful weekend. Kevin Torell did an amazing job in his second year of leading the coordination and running of the Harvest Fest. Gary Kettelman was also amazing with his knowledge of setting up and taking down the festival. I also can’t thank them enough for helping to communicate with other individuals who helped to take on chairperson positions. The weekend was such a community effort and it was a joy to see the kids, parents, parishioners and larger community enjoying our beautiful campus. I am truly blessed and humbled to be a part of such a wonderful school.

Dear Families,

The Box Tops for Education program is changing the way we can earn cash for our school!

Over the summer, participating brands have begun to change their packaging from the traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Tops label.

Going forward, instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops will be earned digitally by scanning your receipt. The Box Tops for Education team has worked hard to build a NEW-and-improved, user-friendly Box Tops mobile app, available now.

The new app features state-of-the-art technology that allows you to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add Box Tops to our school's earnings online.

If you still have traditional Box Tops clips at home, make sure to send them to school. We will still earn cash for all clipped Box Tops until they expire. Better yet, you can “double dip” during the packaging transition by clipping traditional Box Tops AND scanning your store receipt containing participating products.

Thanks for helping our school get what it needs!

BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE NEW APP OR UPDATE YOUR EXISTING APP:
