50-50 Chances
The finance committee under the direction of our pastor has initiated a monthly 50-50 drawing to help keep the tuition rate the same for the school year 2010-2011.
Each family has already received information about this project. The only way this will be successful is if each family would volunteer a few times a year to sell the tickets after the weekend Masses. If you do not wish to be involved with this program, you will receive a $100.00 increase in your tuition.
Mrs. Lager has volunteered to coordinate the program. Please contact her through the school office if you wish to help.

BOOK OF INTERCESSIONS
As a school assembly we pray every morning and throughout the day for the special intentions of all of our families. The Book of Intercessions holds the names (both living and deceased) of all of those for whom prayers have been requested This book sits on our Prayer Table each day and is carried up at the General Intercessions at our school Masses. Please feel free to submit names for our prayer list at any time and especially each month before our school liturgy. The names of all of the people will remain in the book and in our prayers throughout the year. Names and special intentions can be sent to school at any time: c/o Sister Kathleen.
