Our next service project, "Hats Off to our Troops", will occur this week in honor of Veteran's Day.  Students will have the opportunity to wear a hat to school by making a $5 donation on Friday, November 11.  The collected donation will go to  the construction of Army Corporal Nick Orchowski's home in Parker.  Corporal Orchowski was left quadriplegic after being thrown from the gunners hatch of his vehicle during an ambush in Iraq.

Why do you send your child to Ave Maria?  Please share your reasons with a family or student who would love Ave Maria as much as you do, then encourage them to attend our Open House on Tuesday, November 15, from 9:00-2:00.  

We have a  Referral Program where families can earn $1000.00 per enrolled student (up to $3000.00) for referring new students to Ave Maria Catholic School. 

The 1st Annual Children's Gala will provide children with the opportunity to buy tickets (we will pre-sale tickets) and to use these tickets to "bid" for their favorite items. The more tickets they buy, the better the chance to win! Tickets will be placed in the bucket in front of the prize and drawings for winners will be held towards the end of the event (don't need to be present). Tickets are also good for the purchase of lunch. To round out the event, we will also have fun game stations where the children will have a chance to win prizes. This will be an event not to miss! Parents - you must attend this event with your child(ren).  STUDENTS WILL BE SENT TO EXTENDED DAY (charged regular rates) IF NOT ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR PARENT.

Total cost of lunch:  2  tickets

for Hotdog, Chips, Drink, and Cookie

Just a friendly reminder to let you know that students will be sent to Extended Day (charged regular rates) if left unattended after school.  Student athletes who practice at 3:15 may meet their coach at the flagpole.   All other student athletes waiting for later practices, will be sent to Extended Day.  Thank you for your continued cooperation.

For our October service project, Student Council members created signs and collected coats during our morning carline drop off.  Our goal was to collect at least one coat per family.  We also partnered with students from our Religious Education classes to bring in coats to donate.  We collected almost 250 coats and were featured on Channel 7 news!

Come see several Ave Maria alumni in the Regis Jesuit High School production of Into the Woods performed at Colorado Heights University Theatre, November 12-(2 and 7 pm) and November 13- (6 pm).
