Dear Parents,

Throughout the school year 1st-8th grade classes are responsible for leading Mass.  This is a very special celebration for our students.  It is a proud time for parents and grandparents to witness their children participating in the Mass.  St. Malachy school would like to provide a reception for the class and immediate families following one of  their Mass celebrations.  Please join us for donuts and coffee on the following dates:

November 18th  - 4th Grade

December 16th - 1st Grade

January 13th - 6th Grade

February 24th - 2nd Grade

March 9th - 8th Grade

March 16th - 7th Grade

April 6th - 5th Grade

April 20th - 3rd Grade

A few things to note:

SCRIP ON YOUR PHONE - Did you know you can get SCRIP gift cards instantly added to your smartphone from your checking account?  Did you know everytime you purchase a SCRIP gift card you are helping the school and lowering your tuition bill? This sounds like a win win!  Come to St. Malachy School Library - November 18th at 4pm to get your phone all signed up for Black Friday deals and Christmas shopping!  Please bring your checking account number and routing number to help with the signup process.

SCRIP HOLIDAY SCHEDULE - Monday, November 16th will be a normal SCRIP day.  We will be adding an additional day Friday, November 20th and you will receive your cards by Wednesday, November 25th.  We will not have a SCRIP order on Monday, November 23rd and back to normal schedule on Monday, November 30th.

UPDATING OUR TEXTING SERVICE - Do you like to receive text messages from the school?  Well we are going to run an update on our service.  Because of this update, families need to agree to receive text messages again.  Please take a moment to accept our request to continue to be part of our text messaging service.

BOOK FAIR - WOW, thank you, thank you, thank you!  Our Book Fair was a tremendous success.  The teachers loved all of their new books you purchased for them.  Nothing gets a teacher more giddy than a new book.  We were also able to select many new and wonderful hardback books for our school library.  Thank you again for your generous purchases.
