Please continue to keep Mrs. Corgiat
and her family in your prayers. As you
know, her father has been sick for the past couple of weeks and sadly he passed
away last Monday.
If you wish to offer condolences,
cards can be sent to the school or dropped off in the office. If you wish to make a monetary donation a
fund has been made here on his behalf which Mrs. Corgiat will be able to use as
she wishes. And of course as you know,
Mrs. Corgiat is a strong believer in prayer, so prayers said for her and her
father are truly appreciated gifts.
SHE’S BACK!!! YAHOO!!!
We are happy to announce that Miss
Shauntel was able to come back to work this week! She is still weak and in the recovery stage but is slowly getting
better. Please continue to pray for
her.
M.A.P. TESTING
The students in grades 2-6 will continue
with the M.A.P. Testing next week. So
far the testing has gone pretty smoothly and the test scores are
outstanding!
Keep up the good work at home
too by making sure that your child gets a good night’s rest, a nutritious
breakfast and of course lots of loving encouragement to do their very best!!!
STILL NEED SERVICE HOURS?
We still need help with the Book Fair that
will be held April 28-May 2. We need
help setting it up on Friday, April 25 after school, before and after school
April 28 – May 2, and then take down on May 2 after school. Sign up sheets are in the school hallway.
Also, we need a couple of
parents to help put paint in painting trays.
This is not a hard task, just time consuming. If you would like to help with either of these things, please
contact Miss Polly at 232-5763.
SPRING PORTRAITS
Hopefully everyone has received their
child’s Spring portrait that was taken by Lifetouch. These pictures HAVE NOT been
paid for. You have the choice of buying
the whole package, single sheets, or returning the package to your child’s
teacher. Please return either payment
or the pictures back to your child’s teacher by Friday, April 25. Thank you.
2nd
Annual Spell-a-thon
Money collected for the 2nd Annual
Spell-a-thon
needs to be turned in by tomorrow, April 18.
More information regarding the success of the Spell-a-thon will be
forthcoming.
SPRING SHOW
Our Spring Sing and Art Show are
scheduled for Wednesday, April 30. The
Art Show will begin at 6:00 in the school and the Spring Sing will follow at
7:00 in the church. See you there!
CHANGE IN TEACHING STAFF
Next school year 2008-2009, we will be having
two changes to our teaching staff. Mrs.
Betty is having a baby next August, so she will be taking some time off from
teaching and Miss Angela is moving to Caldwell. Both of these super fine teachers will be missed but we are so
glad to have had them as long as we have!
We will be taking applications
for both jobs until a suitable replacement is found. If you know of a teacher who would be interested please have them
contact the school.
TRASH TALK
Parents, please talk to your child about inappropriate
language. We are hearing quite a bit of
“trash talk” out on the playground and it won’t be tolerated. Yellow tickets will be issued for
inappropriate language. For those
children taking the Lord’s name in vain, they will have a visit with Fr. Ben. It absolutely will not be allowed. Our children are so smart that we think they
can choose to use better words. Please
take the time to visit with your child about it.
P.E.
The students will be playing soccer for
the next two weeks during their P.E. time.
If your child has shin guards they are strongly encouraged to bring them
and wear them. Cleats are not allowed.
MISSING
Bakin’ Barb reports that the
outside of her small roaster and several parts of her nacho machine were not
returned after the basketball tournament.
If you helped with clean up, please make sure that they are still not
sitting in a box somewhere. Thank you!

If you are planning on your child (ren)
returning to Holy Spirit Catholic School for the 2008/09 school year and you have

child will have a spot for next year! A
non-refundable deposit of $100 per family is also required. If

May
your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; and may you be
able to feel and understand…how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love
really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great
that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with
God himself.
Ephesians 3:17-19 TLB
Have a
great weekend!
