Good Luck to all the Bosco Bulldogs!!!

Congratulations to Mrs. Tina Larsen for winning the Arizona Council for American Private Education (AZCAPE) Private School Teacher of the Year!  More than 200 private school leaders were nominated for this prestigious award.  Tina has been a teacher at St. John Bosco since 2007 and has touched the lives of many, many students.  Thank you for everything you do to educate and inspire our students Mrs. Larsen!  We are so proud of you!

Congratulations also to Mrs. Dorothy Abril who was nominated for Staff Member of the Year by AZCAPE.  Miss Dorothy goes above and beyond in helping all our staff, parents and students at SJB and we appreciate everything that she does for our school.  We are truly blessed to have both of these wonderful members of our staff.

Many blessings for a thankful and joyous November.

We will be conducting our annual health screenings on Tuesday, November 12 and Wednesday, November 13.  All students will be screened for height, weight, and vision.  We will also do heart rate and blood pressure screening on grades 4-8, and scoliosis checks on grades 5-8.  If you do not want your child to be screened, please notify the health office in writing by Friday, November 8.   

If you would like to volunteer to help with the screenings, please call the health office at (480) 219-4849 or email us at attendance@sjbosco.org. Screening usually goes from 8am-3pm both days.  You could sign up for just a few hours or the whole day.  Morning snacks and lunch will be provided.  We like to have about a dozen volunteers each day.  It's a fun way to get some of those service hours in!

SEE IT!  CLIP IT!  SAVE IT!

Everyone loves a contest!  St. John Bosco is entered into the competition of a lifetime.  It is called Recycle Bowl which is a nationwide contest to help celebrate National Recycling Day on November 15.

What:   A competition  about recycling

When:  October 21- November 15

Who:   St. John Bosco will be competing with schools across the state to see which school recycles the most.

How:  City of Phoenix will come and weigh our big bins out in the parking lot each day.

Why:  The goal is to promote recycling in schools and the community.

What can you do:  You can help us win the National Title of Recycling Champion of Arizona!! Bring in clean recyclable material and place it in our blue bins in the parking lot.

Clean recyclables are:  paper, plastic bottles, glass, cardboard, phone books, newspaper, magazines and aluminum.  Join the fun and let's promote our recycling program!

The SJB Dads' Club Annual Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament benefits the St. Benedict Chapter of St. Vincent de Paul.  Last year we raised $990 and provided many boxes of food to the food pantry - let's beat that!

If you have never played in a Poker Tournament before this is a great place to start - click here for Tournament Rules.  The entry fee is only $40, and payouts to all of the Final Table participants will be made in SCRIP. To signup,  click here to print the registration form. 

Living out our Faith day in day out can be tough, especially with the demands of children, families, life.  How are you teaching the Kingdom of God in your life everyday? We invite you to come and spend time with Fr. Bob Gielow as he shares his wisdom with us for this great balancing act.  Each day is self-contained, so you are welcome to join us for one night or all three.  Each evening we will celebrate the Eucharist, with the Mission Talk being given during the homily.  The daily readings will support the focus for each day.  It is our goal that you will leave with a conversion of heart, happy that you came and be immensely proud of your Catholic Faith.  November 18-20, 2013 from 6:30 pm to 8pm.  See the website for more details.

If you would like to volunteer to help with the health screenings, (Tuesday and Wednesday) please call the health office at (480) 219-4849 or email at attendance@sjbosco.org.
