1-21-16

Dear Parents,
Every other Friday students donate $1 to wear sweatpants on Spirit Day.  This money has been collected  throughout the year to help Iowa schools in need during a time of tragedy.  
We wanted to share with you where some of those donations have gone recently.  We sent a fruit basket to the teachers at Southeast Webster-Grand Elementary School.  This school lost three students, this week, due to a house fire.  We are also sending a basket to Waukee High School to help them cope with their loss of a student.  
Thank you for your continued support of Spirit Days.  The teachers welcome the opportunity to support other schools who experience a tragedy.

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. Please send all donations to Sarah.

Tuition – SCRIP =scrip.png
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

SURVEY:  Thank you for taking our survey!  We received 64 responses from parents.  And all of our students and staff participated.  We will share the results with you as soon as they become available.
