GREAT RESULTS
 FROM OUR SPRING AUCTION AND GALA!!

Dear St. Cletus Parents, Faculty and Staff,

 

It is with great pleasure that we report to you that our 2014 St. Cletus Gala & Auction was a rousing success.  Our early estimates indicate that the school will have net proceeds of well over $80,000.  It was a fun night that displayed the generosity of time, talent and treasure of many families throughout not only the school, but the parish.  We would like to thank all of the families, especially those in the 4th grade, that served as committee chairs and volunteers.  It is their hours of behind the scenes work that make events like our auction possible.  Additionally, we would like to thank the many other families throughout the school that secured the fantastic items for the live and silent auctions that allowed us to exceed our goal by over $10,000.

 

We are so proud to have worked with such wonderful families to throw such a great and profitable party for the school.

 

It is definitely a great day to be a Cardinal!

 

Stefani & Rick Shanley

 

The Auction Website will be OPEN through Sunday, March 16,

to bid on items and sign up for a few available parties.

Please Help--Easter Egg Hunt Volunteers are Still Needed

       Our children's Easter Egg Hunt is approaching soon, and we need your help.  The kids love this annual event, but we cannot pull it off without some volunteers.  If you have been looking for a way to get involved or you are a veteran volunteer, the Easter Egg Hunt is a lot of fun and not an overwhelming amount of work.  We are looking for one person to head the event and a few other volunteers to help. The Hunt is scheduled for Saturday, April 12.  Please consider giving some time to make this event a success. To sign up, click on Sign-up Genius and scroll down to find "Easter Egg Hunt."  Thank you in advance.  If you have any questions, please e-mail Wendy Schuler.
