Dear Parents,

We are in our final ten days before the FunFest!  This is an exciting time, and I know many of you are busy preparing.  It takes a lot of cooperative effort to put on a big event like this, and every moment you’re spending on it is appreciated!  Thank you for all your time behind the scenes in the various areas you’re working on and the items you’re preparing.  It’s wonderful to see it all come together, especially after the big push you all give in the final days beforehand!  Be sure you look through all enclosures to get updates on all aspects of the preparations underway for our FunFest.

I am pleased to report the tremendous progress being made on our “Lighting the Way” annual appeal!  Thus far we have received responses from about 30% of our families and our faculty.   

Thank you to those of you who have sent in your Annual Appeal response forms.  We have received replies of a wide range of contributions, and some replies in which parents have noted that they are unable to make a financial contribution at this time and will continue to support the school through prayer and volunteerism.  Each and every one of these responses (regardless of contribution level) are wonderful to receive, and we appreciate every family taking the time to respond to this call for support!  If you have not yet returned your response, please take some time to reflect on this appeal and participate in whatever way you are able, through prayer or financial support.  You are all generous of heart, and it is truly awe-inspiring to see the many ways in which you support your children’s education!

            With gratitude for all you do,

            Jennifer Martin

Fun Fest:

·        Raffle- Please make sure each student’s name is on a return envelope to ensure the student gets credit for the raffle tickets sold.  If you received a Parish Mailer with 2 books of raffle tickets, you can turn these in as well and receive student credit toward the student raffle prizes.

·        Wanted!!! Un-used Fun Fest Raffle tickets!  If you are unable to sell or purchase the raffle tickets that you received via the WCE or Parish mailer, please return them to the school office.  

School Board News - The School Advisory Board is seeking a volunteer to make a significant contribution to the Marketing Committee by spearheading our efforts to submit articles to local newspapers and helping with other small marketing-related projects.  This includes identifying topics, taking pictures, writing articles, and meeting newspaper deadlines.  Attendance at the monthly School Advisory Board meetings would be helpful. This is a great opportunity to use writing and organizational skills in order to publicize the wonderful things happening at St. Lucy School .   Please contact Rebecca Haggerty if you are interested.   

Got Tennis Balls?  Five Wounds School is a school with few resources serving a population that is primarily in a low socioeconomic demographic.  Being unable to purchase the chair feet that we all use to protect our floors and control classroom noise, the school has sent out a request for used tennis balls that can be placed over chair feet of any size to serve this same purpose.  If you’re a tennis player and have acc4ss to discarded/flat tennis balls, please drop them off in the school office and we will deliver them to Five Wounds.  Thank you!
