Dear Notre Dame Families:
The end of the tri-mester is tomorrow, February 24th (the school year is flying). There will be a dress down day tomorrow! We are asking that instead of bringing $1 that you make a donation. All money raised will be given to St. Anthony's school in Oconto (there was a fire at the school and St. Anthony's is in need of help). St. Anthony's is Father Patrick's former parish and Father Joel's current parish.
Thank you to Patti Pagel and student council for organizing the Mardi Gras event at school this past Monday. It was great to see students of all ages enjoying the games and playing together. The event raised over $1,000 and proceeds will be used to mount overhead projectors in classrooms.
If you have not done so please register as soon as possible. Early registration helps with planning how to staff for next year. To get the registration details click on 2012-2013 registration and read the general notice to parents.
