Hello Notre Dame Families,



Hope you are all enjoying a joy-filled Christmas season. As we return from break our school will be preparing for National Catholic Schools Week(CSW):Jan. 27-Feb. 2nd.  This is a time when Catholic schools celebrate who they are through welcoming the community to an Open House and Holy Mass, and all are encouraged to participate in activities that make Catholic schools who they are called to be:"The Best Versions of Themselves."  We are very blessed at Notre Dame of De Pere and invite parents, family members, friends, parishioners and the community to celebrate our blessings and our Catholic faith during CSW.  Some of our highlights include: Praying the Rosary, Talent Show, Flag Parade, Vocations Guest Speakers, Sledding Party, Dress Up Days, Prayer and much more..........To learn about all of the activites during that week and continued updates, go to our Notre Dame Web page and click on the Catholic Schools Week tab.  Check it out!

 Key Club Update

The final numbers from the recent 2012 Key Club have been tallied, and we are excited to announce that the event made $111,000 

in proceeds!  Checks for $55,500 were distributed to both Notre Dame and Our Lady of Lourdes this week. Thank you to everyone who helped to make the fundraiser event another great success.    

 

 

The 2013 Key Club will take place on Friday, November 1st.  Please mark your calendars and save the date!   

 

Are you looking to get involved with planning your school's largest fundraiser event? It's time for two new co-chairs to take the reins and introduce their ideas and energy into the Key Club.   Please consider volunteering your time! In addition to the co-chair role opportunities, there are many different ways to participate in the 2013 Key Club event planning (with various day of week, time of day and # of hours commitment opportunities). Key Club planning can be a fun way for you to earn your TSF hours.   Please contact Alisa or Kelly if you are interested in helping.

GRACE BULLETIN ANNOUNCEMENTS-DECEMBER

 

GRACE ANNUAL APPEAL

Thank you to the nearly 850 donors who've contributed to the 2012-13 GRACE ANNUAL APPEAL! Over 2,300 children are benefiting from your generosity. This year's goal of $130,000 has not been reached but there are several months to go. A donation receipt will be provided to you so that you can claim your tax deduction. With the current debate over taxes and future deductions in Washington, DC, it may be to your advantage to make your gift before the end of December. Please make your gift to the children of GRACE by mailing in a gift or donate online at www.gracesystem.org
