ST. LAURENCE MAGAZINE SALE

This week is the last week to get in your orders for the Fall Magazine Drive. All families are obliged to sell or buy 7 orders in order to avoid the buyout fee of $75.00. (That represents the profit from the 7 orders that you didn’t get a chance to sell.) If you are having trouble selling the 7, talk to me about ways we can help with your sales. You can have people order from the catalogs or order on line from gaschoolstore.com using our school ID 3589454. You can order online at any time between now and December using the St. Laurence School Code 3589454. So pass the word (and the number) so your friends and relatives who didn’t get a chance to order during the sale can still help the school. Orders after Friday will not count toward the student prizes.

CHANGE IN PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES

Since three of the teachers will be gone on October 16-17 at a conference in Denver, we have decided that it would be in everyone’s best interest to postpone parent teacher conferences by one week. Instead of meeting on the 16-17^th, the conference will start on Thursday night October 23 from 6-8 in the evening and continue on Friday October 24 from 8-12. There will not be school on Friday October 24. We will still plan to have the Costume Party/Dance that night from 6-8 in the gym.

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 last week.

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!

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

There will be a meeting this Thursday right after school in the Art Room off of the gym. I will watch the kids in the gym while you attend the meeting.

SINGING AT THE 5:30 LITURGY

Thanks to our St. Laurence Singers for their participation at the 5:30 Liturgy last Sunday. They are: the Sadowski family, the Adams family, the Schmalz family, the Millan family, the Oliver family, the Hague family, Mia Trujillo and her grandmother, and Mindoe Walrath and his family. Thanks to all who made it. We sing on the last Sunday of the month (excluding December) at St. Laurence Church at the 5:30 Mass. We hope to see more at the October 26^th Mass.

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%.
