Walk-a-Thon
Meeting
We would like to invite everyone to participate in the first meeting
of the 2013 St. Dominic's Walk-AThon Committee this evening (Tue. Sep. 24th) at
6:30 p.m. in the school library. If you are not able to attend this meeting we
hope you will be able to join us in one of our weekly meetings to come. We would
also like to announce that the date for the Walk-a-Thon event has changed
from Friday October 4 to Friday October 11. We look forward to meeting
all of you and hearing all the creative and fun ideas you have for our
Walk-A-Thon. See you tonight!

Halloween
Carnival
Mrs. Renee Galvez, chairperson, and the Halloween Committee will have
their first meeting on Wednesday Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the school library. If
you signed up to be on the committee or simply want to join the fun, come to
the meeting. Parents enjoy earning service hours and organizing the Halloween
Carnival. The carnival will be on Friday, Oct. 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
School
Choirs
First of all, thank you for your interest in and support of our
choirS. Yes, the “S” is enlarged because I would like to have three different
levels of choir, each with its own character and musical level. They are as
follows:
2nd Grade Choir which will rehearse on Tuesdays
from 3:05-3:40 p.m.
School Choir (grades 3-8) which will rehearse on
Thursdays from 3:05-4:00 p.m.
Junior High Choir (grades 6-8) which normally
rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30-8:00 a.m.
We aspire to be a 3-part harmony, SAB with the changing boys’ voices
on their own part. This is the ideal; schedule conflicts can mean a student is
in a different choir. See Mr. Acosta for exceptions, changes, etc. We are
already off to a great start! The choirs will sing at school Masses, some of
the Saturday evening Family Masses, holiday events, Catholic Schools Week, etc.
All School
Choirs: Upcoming dates
1) The choirs will sing
at the All-School Mass, Friday,
October 4 at 9:00 a.m.
2) The choirs will also
sing at the Family Mass on
Saturday, November 9 at
5:00 p.m.
The School uniform is to be worn for both of these Masses. All three
choirs are off to an excellent start!
Parish
Fiesta
The Parish Fiesta will be held in the big parking lot, lower lot, and
Parish Hall, Nov. 1-3. The school parents traditionally work on Thursday and
Friday to set-up the booths, and on Sunday to tear down the booths. This
year parents may sign up for the set-up or tear down only in the school office.
School parents are also responsible for the dessert booth during the fiesta.
Room parents will be contacting parents for donations and to work in the
dessert booth during the fiesta by grade level (Friday: preschool, TK, K and 1st grade parents; Saturday:
2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade parents; Sunday: 6th, 7th, and 8th grade parents).
