Marketing
On Friday, October 26, the SDS Marketing Team hosted approx. 100
preschoolers from Pathways, Lutheran International, and our very own St. Dominic
School preschoolers at the annual
Halloween mini-carnival. Fathers Peter and Jerome also joined us on this
fun day. A good time was had by all while the children did arts and
crafts, freeze dancing, played Pin the Nose on the Witch, enjoyed Halloween
stories, and participated in the many carnival games provided by our
school. Everyone left with a goody bag and was invited to return for the Parish
Fiesta. We express a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers who also helped
out with this event. This is an ongoing effort by the Marketing Team to
invite young children to come and visit our school and build a relationship
with these preschool centers. We invite everyone to put in a good word to
your friends and family that St.
Dominic School
is a wonderful place for learning!
Teacher Luncheon
On Thursday, Oct. 25 the eighth
grade parents expressed their appreciation to the teachers and staff by
providing a luncheon from Dave’s Chillin and Grillin.
We want to thank Mrs. Rowena
De Leon and all the eighth grade parents for stepping up to organize the lunch
for the teachers, school staff, and parish staff.
