teachers and parents to communicate. If parents have concerns, now is the time
to call or email the teacher regarding grades, behavior or effort.

School
Choir
I am having surgery at the
end of September and will be out for a few weeks. As soon as I am back –
hopefully in mid-October – we can begin our school choir this year.
Mr. Acosta
Music
An order form for
precorders/recorders and music books were passed out this week to grades 2-8. It is due by next week so I can place the
order before I have surgery.

Goodwill
Fundraiser
GOODWILL Fundraiser,
a SUCCESS !! The 100 degree weather on Saturday did not stop the
Marketing Team and 17 eighth grade volunteers as well as 17 parent volunteers
who came out to help load the truck. One truck was 85% filled with
bags/boxes and the other was 55% filled with bulk items/E-waste. That
means that the Marketing Team made their goal of filling ONE truck!! We
want to especially thank ALL of the school families and friends who donated
items and helped us with this effort.
We want to thank Fr. Peter and his staff for allowing the school the use of the parish Community Center in order to store everything throughout July, August, and September. We appreciate your support!
