Happy New Year, St. Anastasia! We hope you had a restful and joyful Christmas break with friends, family and loved ones. We are excited to begin the third quarter of this school year. You may have noticed a new look to our newsletter. We've noted that more than 60% of our subscribers read the newsletter from a mobile device, so this new format is specifically designed to be more easily read on a phone or tablet. However, you'll still find the same important news and information you've become used to reading. Enjoy!

Jog-A-Thon is Friday, February 5, 2016!
Welcome to the 2016 St. Anastasia Catholic School Jog-A-Thon! The Jog-A-Thon is set for Friday, February 5, 2016. This fun event is a very important fundraiser for the school and we need every student's participation in order for us to succeed. Our school goal is $20,000 and we can reach that goal if each student turns in at least $40 in pledges. Each student obtains pledges, either by lap or as a single pledge, and on the day of the event, runs laps around a track. The laps are counted and students are eligible to win prizes based on how many laps they run. Pledges are then tallied and mailed to the sponsors for payment. Pre-K students will participate but will only run for 30 minutes. They will not carry lap cards, so sponsors should just pledge a flat amount. We have scheduled three (3) specific Turn-In Days for pledges. Turn-In Days are: Thursday, Jan. 21 (by 9 a.m.)* Thursday, Jan. 28 (by 9 a.m.) Thursday, February 4 (final day; by 9 a.m.) *If students turn in pledges on Thursday, Jan. 21, they will win a St. Anastasia 90th anniversary frisbee! The deadline to turn in pledges is 9 a.m. on Thursday, February 4. Click here for prize information and details. In order to participate in the Jog-A-Thon, students must turn in at least $10 in pledges. If turning in the minimum $10 pledge to participate provides a hardship for any family, please contact Mrs. Trabulsy in the Development Office. We want everyone to participate in this event! Students should plan on wearing P.E. clothes and tennis shoes on the day of the event. The students really enjoy this event, so we encourage you to involve them in obtaining pledges from family members and friends! We would also like to invite you to join us for the Jog-a-Thon - bring a lawn chair and watch the festivities! Or, if you need volunteer hours, this is a great opportunity to help. You can sign up online at http://www.signupgenius.com or on our website. Don't forget that this day (Friday, Feb. 5th) is a noon dismissal, too. Thank you ahead of time for your continued support and generosity. If you have any questions, please contact me at ltrabulsy@saintanastasiaschool.org or (772) 461-2232.
