Living Rosary
In honor of Our Lady of the
Rosary we will have our traditional prayer service of the Living Rosary on
Monday, October 8 at 9:00 a.m. in the Parish Hall
Teacher Luncheon
The two preschool classrooms
and kinder parents honored the faculty and staff, and parish staff with a
wonderful Mexican lunch. The lunch was appreciated by all. It was delicious and
also allows the school and parish staff an opportunity to form community during
the busy work schedule.
We want to thank these
parents for their generous donations and the wonderful food.

Safe Kids Walk This Way
We’re inviting you to join us
for an International Walk to School Day on October 3, 2012.
St. Dominic School and Safe Kids Los Angeles are partnering with a program
sponsored by FedEx to make this pedestrian safety event possible.
The Los Angeles County Fire,
Los Angeles Police, and Sheriff Department will be onsite on October 3, 2012
from 8:30-10:30 for the Safe Kids Walk This Way Assembly.
Fieldtrip Forms
All students will receive a
fieldtrip slip form to allow the student to participate in the Safe Kids Walk
This Way Assembly.
Students will walk on Maywood to Colorado Blvd., down
to Eagle Rock Blvd.,
and finally back to Merton and will then enter into our school playground for
the assembly.
Students without signed
permission slips will not be allowed to participate in the walking part of the assembly.
School Logo
St. Dominic School has been working on our visual identity and branding
for two years.
Last school year the Taproot
Foundation worked pro bono on our visual identity and branding our school.
Taproot researched the
neighboring schools (Catholic and public) on their visual identity and compared
their visuals to ours. The team
interviewed parents and teachers.
The new logo was presented to the marketing team board in July.
Our new tag line is “Building Confident Catholic Leaders through
Faith, Community and Education.”
By the beginning of next
school year, all St. Dominic students will wear new polos, sweatshirts and P.E.
uniforms which display the new logo. We will begin with the process this year.

FRESH & EASY
Fundraiser of Sept. 13 -- We want to THANK Denise & Ralph Ramirez for
organizing this great event. There were cheers outside the store
as young St. Dominic School
students greeted shoppers. You could feel their enthusiasm. We want to
thank the student and parent volunteers who collected receipts and helped bag
groceries. The Marketing Team sold baked goods provided by parents. This
is an on-going Fundraiser so any receipts collected between Sept. 12 --
December 31 should be turned into the school office so our school gets the
credit. Keep on shopping!
