Dear Parents,
We have been working hard preparing for Catholic Schools week. Almost an entire month of planning happens to prepare for the big week. The sixth graders have been preparing radio commercials. The 8th grade students, Mrs. Simmons, Miss Steinkamp and Father Halbur will be submitting their articles to the publisher at the end of this week. The teachers worked hard, last week, to design a week of fun activities for the students. Mrs. Cline is busy hashing out the details of our field trip to see the Iowa Energy game the Tuesday following our week long celebration. Our billboard by the Sumner underpass is now up, take a minute and drive by to check it out! So many people go into making sure this week is a success. Please be watching for more details in the next couple of weeks.
Seeking Donations for Newspaper Insert and Radio Commercials:
Our 8th grade class is writing articles for a twelve page insert in the Creston News Advertiser and our 6th grade class is preparing 15 second commercials to be broadcast 5 times each on KSIB radio. The insert will be distributed and the ads broadcast during Catholic Schools Week. The cost for the insert and ads will be about $1500. A list of donors to these efforts will be printed in the insert. Please send all donations to Sarah.
Tuition – Scrip =
Savings on Tuition
Monthly example
$300 Hy-Vee = $12
$100 Fareway = $1.20
$200 Wal-Mart = $1.60
$100 Casey’s = $1.20
$16 x 10 months = $160
This means $160 taken off your total tuition costs.
Remember scrip is great for grocery shopping and getting those household essentials.
All Scrip orders due in Mondays by 9am for Thursday delivery. Contact office with any questions.
Scrip Committee continues to sell cards after Mass
