BREAKFAST WITH SANTA
Kudos to the Athletic Association on their annual Breakfast with Santa.  The food was terrific and there were smiles from ear to ear on all the children's faces.  A special thank you goes out to Mr. Ed Enes for getting in touch with Santa and his helpers.  Santa's elf, the magic show and balloon art were a big hit.  We would also like to thank alumni Jennifer and Sarah Stavoli for sharing their face painting talents with us.
TRIP....THERE'S STILL TIME
The TRIP Committee and St. Mary School thank you for the hundreds of orders we have received. Thank you so much for your continued participation in this worthwhile program.  We will be communicating with you on our profits to date after the Christmas Break.

There is still time to get those last minute gift cards in time for Christmas.  But hurry, all orders must be received by Friday AM, December 16th.

HAVE YOU SEEN OUR VOLUNTEER BOOK?
Parents and students, the main office is missing the Volunteer Sign-In Binder.  It is white and was on the blue desk outside the main office.  If you have seen it or mistakenly took it with your child's homework/books, kindly return it as soon as possible to Mrs. Kirchman and say a little prayer to St. Anthony that we find it. 

Thank you.
