Sigh. Labor Day weekend was wonderful, but now summer is (unofficially) over. But it was such a wonderful summer - full of travel, new experiences and lots of learning. The faculty and staff of SJV were busy doing all kinds of things that will enhance our teaching.
|
We hope that everyone in our St. John Vianney School community had a wonderful summer to discover, dream, rest, laugh, ponder, play, explore and create. Let's thank God for the blessing of summer!
Peace,

What's New with SCRIP?
We are up and running with online ordering! If interested, go to the website, www.shopwithscrip.com and set up your username and password. Use our school's enrollment code, B13DA8633L15. If you have any questions, please let us know and we will help walk you through it. What are the benefits? Paper cards you can print at home, easy at-home ordering and reloads to plastic cards you already have! If you set up PrestoPay, you can have funds automatically withdrawn from your bank account which will allow you to have access to your SCRIP sooner. If you choose to pay with a check, we will need to receive it by Monday morning at 8:30am to release your cards.
Are we pushing you to order online? No--We will still process paper orders every Monday morning like usual. You can pay with a check and cards will be available on Thursdays.

Acquisitions
The planning for our biennial auction has already begun. One key to a successful auction is a great Acquisitions Committee. Our current chairs, Karen Parks and Amy Lodes, are in need of committee members. From September through December, committee members will contact past donors, businesses, and families, etc., for donations. It will be coordinated and organized with the entire committee and Karen and Amy.
There is a planning meeting on Thursday, September 11th at 7:30 at the Lodes residence. All are welcome to attend. This committee is small-child friendly because a large portion of the work can be done via phone. If you have any questions, please contact Karen at 262-649-3745 or Amy at 262-796-9963.
