Dear Notre Dame Families:
The teachers/staff wore "Stamp Out Bullying T- Shirts" in support of the national Anti-Bullying day. Next week there will be assemblies at both the middle school and elementary school. The assemblies will focus on anti-bullying and Catholic values of inclusion. We expect students to do more than to not bully others; the expectation is that students reach out to others to make everyone feel included.
Kindergarten through Second grade have either begun or will soon be beginning our new phonics program, Fundations. We are very excited about this new program that is designed to give your children a great "fundation" to read. Look for parent letters to be coming home soon.
Parent/Teacher conferences will be on Oct. 23 (3:30 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.) and Oct. 25 (12:30 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.) Forms have been sent home. Please sign up to get your children's conferences scheduled. The deadline to have your forms in to the office is Oct. 11th.
Charles Street (south side of elementary school) will be the site of road construction beginning October 10. Charles street between Superior and Huron will be a bus lane only before school and after school. Please plan accordingly. Construction is anticipated to be completed by October 24th.
Scrip orders will be coming home today! Check your children's backpacks and folders.
I hope that you are enjoying the beautiful Fall colors!!!
Jump with Joy,
Jeff

St. John's Shelter Meal Point-Person Sign-Up
The St. John's Shelter will be opening its doors to people looking for food and shelter throughout the next few months (Nov-April). The Notre Dame of De Pere School Community has been supporting this effort by providing a meal twice a month (last year with everyone working together, we were able to provide over 1500 individual meals to community members in need!!). We would like to continue this tradition, but will need the care, compassion and cooking skills of our school families. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with our kiddos to teach them about the shelter, while including them in preparing a meal to help those in need. Every other week we will prepare a meal for 30-60 guests at the shelter. We are looking for one point person per meal from each grade to coordinate the meal with the families from that particular grade and/or team/troop (it takes about 1-2 hours for the point person to coordinate the meal). We will help the point person set-up the on-line meal tool for the class to sign up online to bring items along with suggestions for meals/recipies, etc if desired. The point person will help coordinate getting the meal items (in disposable containers) to the Dolski Center located at the middle school by 3:00 on the assigned day. Transportation of the meal from the Dolski Center to the shelter and serving of the meal are already set up. There are also 2 'open slots' and we are looking for any group to help with those if able to. (This does count for service hours too:) ) If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at: Laura Weber ( loechsner@yahoo.com) or Jessie Lawton ( lawtonjessie@yahoo.com) http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0C48ACA628A13-stjohns9 |
