ENCHILADA SALE

Keep pushing those orders at work and with your family. We have a goal of selling 1200 dozen enchiladas. If you have list e-mail at work, you can let everyone know you need the orders by Friday. I am putting an announcement in both bulletins for church, but you can also pass out your forms after the Masses, so you can get the credit. Remember to turn in your orders as you receive them. Don’t stockpile them. There are only 1.5 week of selling left. so sell, sell, sell. Also, please return your work schedule. Some times are filling up fast, and Wednesday and Saturday are completely filled. You need to work 4 hours for every child enrolled and to sell 10 dozen enchiladas. The big need is for people to work during the days Thursday and Friday. If you can possibly switch from the evenings to days, it would be greatly appreciated. We are currently experiencing difficulties with our credit card machine, so if is’t possible to collect cash or check, we would appreciate it.

RETIREMENT NEWS

It is time for all good things to come to an end, so that being said I am letting you know that I will be retiring from St. Laurence School at the end of June. I have been teaching or principal at the school since 1981. That is 34 years with a total of 42 years teaching. This was a difficult decision as I am deeply tied to the school and to the students. That being said, I think it is time for me to let go and leave this position up to someone who is younger and with new ideas. You won’t get rid of me, as I will continue to help out with the fundraisers. Thanks to everyone who has made my job such a pleasure over the years.

VALENTINE PARTY

There will be Valentine’s Day parties in the classrooms on Friday afternoon. Please bring cards for everyone in your class. The teachers will be sending home a list of names so that the cards may be addressed properly and that all are included. This is the last bash before Lent so we are putting a Mardi Gras spin on the parties with masks and lots of beads.

Thanks to all our great acts for the Talent Show on Friday. We had participants from every age. Thanks parents for getting those children ready.
