ST. LAURENCE MAGAZINE SALE

It’s September and that means it’s time for the St. Laurence School Fall Magazine Fundraiser. The sale started last week. Did you receive a packet? We do have other products besides magazines for sale. There are three pages stapled together that give prize information, a hard copy of the online sales, and your “Bear coupons “ that you turn in as your children sell 3 orders. The sale goes until the end of the month. Each family is obligated to sell or buy 7 items. Checks will not be cashed until the first week in October. If you want to try to sell after a Mass let me know so I don’t double book and the priests can announce to the congregation that you will be selling. Our goal is 300 orders and we have 50 committed right now. As soon as you get 3 sales commitments either online or over the phone, turn in your bear coupon so the kids can be rewarded with a toy bear for their sales. Our online school number is 3589454.

TETON SCIENCE SCHOOL

The 4-6 grades will be heading to Jackson Hole for the week starting on Monday January 12. A letter went home with the students today.

ADAM’S TEAM ON THURSDAY

Our school running club, Adam’s Team, will meet Thursdays in September and October. The club meets after school and runs at Undine Park from about 3:30 till 4:30. The club is open to students in K-6^th. Pre-Kindergarten students can join if a parent/grandparent accompanies them. We had a great turnout last Thursday! Keep on running!

POSITIVE PARENTING CLASS

Cathedral Home for Children is offering a Positive Parenting Class for all families in Laramie. Classes start September 23 at 6:00 PM at 704 S 3^rd Street. For more information call 307-742-3302. This is a great opportunity for families to learn new skills and just trade ideas and concerns with other parents.

CANS FOR THE CAUSE

Do you have aluminum cans at your house? Bring them to St. Laurence School where we turn cans into money. The money goes into a fund for a variety of worthy classroom projects from field trips to classroom rewards. Bring in your cans and place them in the barrels on the south side of the building by the art room. The more cans we collect, the more positive ways the teachers can support your kids.

HOME AND SCHOOL MEETING

The group discussed holding a costume dance party on October 24^th. In the works are a family movie night and a family game night. No dates have been set for those nights yet. Please join us for the next meeting on October 2^nd at 3:10.

SINGING AT THE 5:30 LITURGY

The students from the school have the ministry of singing at the 5:30 Mass at St. Laurence Church coming up on Sunday September 28^th. Dress nice and come sit up front on the left side by the lectern. We hope to see lots of you for singing. When planning your monthly calendar, reserve that last Sunday of the month for 5:30 mass at St. Laurence Church.

SAFEWAY CARDS

We have for sale Reloadable Safeway Gift Cards. The cards come with $10 pre-loaded on them so we sell them for $10. Then you can reload them as many times as you wish at the checkout and use them to buy groceries, gas, or prescriptions. The great thing is that you are giving 5% to the school every time you reload. If you’re a Safeway shopper, stop by and purchase your reloadable card. It costs you nothing

extra. The card will work at any Safeway throughout the West. Send one to Grandma and Grandpa who shop at Safeway in other towns and the school will still get the 5%.

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

A Laramie city wide prayer gathering, sponsored by the National Day of Prayer of Wyoming, will be held Saturday, September 27 beginning at 10:00 at Washington Park. Teams will be sent to individual schools in Laramie with lunch following at the park. For more information please contact Claudette at 742-2400. All of the teachers will be at the Literacy Conference at the Hilton. Is there anyone who would like to head up the St. Laurence School Team? Please let us know.
