VOCATIONS WEEK:  Please see the back of this Newsletter for information on how we can help our children find their vocation.  We dedicate the week of January 8-12 to this journey.

 

REGISTRATION REMINDER:  In order to ensure your child a spot in his class for 2007-08, don’t forget to send in your registration form with payment by the deadline date of January 16.  After that date, registration will be opened up to Ss. Peter and Paul families, then to all other interested families.  Thank you.

 

FIRST SACRAMENTS MEETING:  Second graders will receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation on February 14 and First Communion on April 29.  There will be a meeting on Thursday, January 11, to explain the sacramental process.  We ask that at least one parent of each second grader attend this very important meeting.

 

PAUSE (PAWS) FOR PRAISE:  Ted Gramann, a parishioner active in many volunteer activities, would like to thank eighth grader Kevin Bishop for helping the Reading Volunteers.  Kevin was the only eighth grader who signed up for this project, and his work was much appreciated.

 

“CELL PHONE” TIME:  Since we can depend on the accuracy of cell phone time, we will be using them to set our school clocks.  Please check the “Principal’s Page” on our school website for more info.

 

FIRST RECOGNITION:  Congratulations to eighth graders Kelly Davidson, Kiki Isaac, and Jenna Juillerat for scoring well enough on the MND STS Placement Test administered on November 18 to be designated “Billiart Honorees”.  These girls will be recognized at a special ceremony on Wednesday, January 10, at 7 p.m. at MND High School.  Way to go, girls!

 

MAGAZINES:  You can order and renew magazine subscriptions online all year ‘round, with 40% of the purchase prices going to support our school.  Go to our school website and click on the following:  fundraising—magazine orders—magazine store—shop online—type in school code W03315—enter the student’s name—start shopping.  Items purchased now under a student’s name will count for their end-of-sale prizes for our PTO Fall Major Fundraiser 2007.  (Turn-in day prizes during the sale in the fall must be submitted that day.)  If you have not received your magazine subscription that was ordered in September, you may call American Publishers at 1(800)284-9711 to check on your order.  (This number is also listed on the back of your pink order form.)  If you have questions, email Pam Kennedy at pendres@cinci.rr.com or call Pam at 984-4597.  Thanks for your continued support.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE

The past 12 years have flown by, and I’ve enjoyed the entire time.

However, I’ve decided to pursue other activities

and will be leaving (retiring) at the end of the 2006-07 school year.

As with all principals’ openings,

the position will be advertised

and applicants will be interviewed by a committee

that will be formed for this purpose.

–Mrs. Adelmann
