FIESTA

Have you turned in your work times for assisting with the Fiesta coming up on May 9th? The committee chair will probably be contacting you by next week at the latest finding out the times you plan to work. Please consider giving some extra hours as that lightens the load for the chairperson who already giving more than 10 times the required amount.

This is the school’s biggest fundraiser which brings in over $50,000 for the school. This is where we get the money for paying teacher salaries and buying books and supplies for the next school year. So, let’s all pitch in to make this event a success.

FIRST COMMUNION EVENTS

First Communion is happening at St. Laurence Church at the 8:00, 12:30, and 5:30 Masses this Sunday April 26th. Let’s all pray for those students as they prepare this month.

OPEN HOUSE

Thanks to the parents who braved the snow to attend our open house last Thursday. If you know of someone who planned to come but was unable to make it, please tell them that it is fine to stop by for a visit. Just have them call, 742-6363, ahead to make sure that the child’s teacher is available to talk to you.

FREE PROGRAMS

The Counselor Education Training Center (C.E.T.C) is offering free and confidential counseling services for individuals, couples, families, and adolescents. We encourage all families who are struggling with parenting or personal issues to take advantage of this service. Also being offered is a Child-Parent Relationship Training (CPRT) which is also free to families. Please take advantage of all these free programs. Information on both programs went home with the oldest student last week.

TURN IN YOUR INTENT FOR NEXT YEAR FORMS

Take a minute today, if you haven’t already, to return the intent form for the 2015-16 school year (sixth grade parents are exempt). It helps us in planning for next year.

ADAM’S TEAM

The club meets every Thursday this spring from 3:10 till 4:30 and is headed up by Mrs. Lyford our music teacher. Bring a water bottle, some running shoes, and your Adam’s Team Shirt (should you have one). Reminder: Pre-Kindergartners must be accompanied by a parent.

ENCHILADAS FOR SALE

We have dropped the price. Now you can purchase the last few dozen of the Enchiladas at $15 per dozen or 3 dozen for $40! Get them while they last. The price will never be lower. There are still about 15 dozen left. Stock up for summer or grab some for supper tonight.

KINDERGARTEN STEP AHEAD PROGRAM

Albany County School District offers a free summer program to all children who live in Albany County and who will be attending kindergarten next fall. Information letters went home after Easter. This program is open to all Kindergarten students regardless of what school they attend.

KINDERGARTEN SCREENING

Kindergarten screening for St. Laurence Kindergarten students will be help on Friday, August 7 from 8:00 – 9:15. You must have a scheduled time and fill out the paperwork to attend. We encourage all Kindergarten students to attend. Please see Anita for more information and to schedule a time. If your child is going to do the Step Ahead program (see above), there is no need to screen as that is part of the program.
