St. Cletus School Board Vacancies

       The St. Cletus School Board is accepting applications to serve a three-year term on the Board, beginning with the 2014-15 school year.  The Board has two particular needs.  We need one member to serve on the Marketing and Publicity Committee and another to serve and lead us with the Alumni Committee.

       The Marketing and Publicity Committee is responsible for advertising and promoting the school's strengths and accomplishments across all forms of media, the recruitment of new families, and retention goals. Members are expected to establish an action plan to execute the above needs as well as support additional School Board initiatives.

       The Alumni Chairperson is responsible for creating and distributing an Alumni newsletter twice a year, work with the school office to update and maintain the alumni database, and coordinate two alumni events.  The Chairperson should be able to establish a subcommittee of volunteers to assist with the above responsibilities.

       Interested applicants should e-mail their resume and a brief statement to School Board.

Eagle Scout Project for St. Cletus Alum Michael McAndrew

       My name is Michael McAndrew.  I am a scout with Troop 19, working on my Eagle Scout Project and could use your help.  I am providing 100 toiletry kits for the "I Am Me" Burn Camp.  This camp is run by the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance Organization .  Camp "I Am Me"  provides a fun, safe environment for children who have experienced significant burn injuries.  I am requesting the students to donate travel size women's hair brushes and travel size women's body lotion. I will need a total of 50 each.   A donation bin will be placed at St. Cletus School from May 14 through 22. Thank you very much for helping this great cause.
