Time: 5:00 - 8:00 pm.
Theme: 80's
Cost: $10 for a ticket before, $15 at the door. Ticket price includes pop, candy and a raffle ticket. Make sure you eat before you arrive as dinner will not be provided. |
Christmas Concert DVDs
Back by popular demand the Home and School Association will have the Christmas concerts professionally videotaped - including exclusive behind the scenes footage. See our rising stars as they prepare for their performances.
We provide this service so all concert goers have an unobstructed view of the performance and so parents don't have to watch the show through the view finder of their camera!
The cost of each DVD is $20 and includes all performances on December 17th and 22nd. All performances are included on each DVD. Order forms are available online. Order forms should be returned to school no later than December 22nd. The DVDs will be sent home after Christmas break.

Lost & Found
Please take time to look through the Lost & Found and locate any items that you have lost or are missing from your child's closet by Wednesday, December 23rd. Any unclaimed items will be taken to charity. |
1st Trimester Honor Roll Reminder
In continuing to make Faithful Shepherd an outstanding Academic Facility, we are altering our honor roll criteria beginning this school year. As mentioned last year in the Star Report, we feel this change will allow our students more of a challenge of which to strive. Our new system will look as follows:
High Honors: 4.0 GPA
Honors: 3.65-3.999 GPA
Thank you for consistently encouraging your children to work diligently in their studies! |
