month.
From the Office:
No toys of any kind should be brought to school.
This includes stuffed animals, trading cards, gadgets, etc. These things get
lost (sometimes left on the bus) and the teacher’s are spending too much time
dealing with the upset children and trying to find the missing items. (Refer to
Parent Handbook pg. 13, “Toys, Valuables at School”)Thank you!
PTO ITEMS:
HARVEST NIGHTS AUCTION – A Huge Success!
· The Auction
committee would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all those that
contributed to our Auction that was held Saturday Oct. 17th at the
Sheraton Tara. We had over 100 people in attendance! Thanks to our
parents, teachers and staff, students, friends and local businesses that
donated to this wonderful event, it was a fabulous evening enjoyed by all, as
well as a very successful fundraiser for our school. Thank you to all our
volunteers that helped with the event, either with set-up Saturday afternoon or
doing different tasks throughout the evening!
· The numbers
are still being finalized with a few outstanding expenses, but we are happy to
say that the event raised about $21,000 for our school!
· Congratulations
to Joanne Marian, who was the winner of the wine tower; Natasha Ashe who picked
the lucky raffle bag with the Tiffany Necklace; and all our lucky winners that
went home with a beautiful Fall Pashmena!
· For those of
you who were the lucky winning bidder for the different outings with our
teachers, Principal for the day, etc., your names have been give to the
teachers and Mrs. Mungovan, and they will be in touch with you to schedule
those events in the coming weeks.
· In the next
week we will be posting some of the business that very generously donated to
our Auction on the PTO Bulletin Board. Please take a look at the list and
be sure to thank them for supporting our school when you may be using their
businesses. We will also be posting the information on the class gift
donations and what they sold for at the auction. The room Parents have
been given this information, so they will be sending that to their classes.
The Ecole du Village Partnership: Many thanks to Mr. Lucien for visiting Saint Bridget School a few weeks ago and introducing our students to the students at Ecole du Village in Haiti through his presentation and pictures. Our penny drive is going well so far! Thank you for your participation! We have many wonderful "exchange" activities planned for both schools over the course of the year. In the meantime, please visit the Ecole du Village website with your children to learn a bit more about our partner school at www.ecoleduvillage.org. Thank you!
Junior
Achievement - Our school will once again participate in the JA program for
grades 4-8 this year. It is time to send out a "call for
volunteers". If you are not familiar with the program you may visit
their website at www.ja.org
. From their website: "Junior Achievement is the world’s
largest organization dedicated to educating students in grades K-12 about entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial
literacy through experiential, hands-on programs." In short,
we ask volunteer parents to come into classrooms and using a ready made
"kit" provided by JA, guide the students through the
program. The teacher stays in the classroom, but the volunteer runs the
program. Parents and students alike have loved the program and the unique
opportunity it presents. To volunteer you do not need any teaching
experience just enthusiasm. The kits have everything you
will need. The time commitment is approximately 30 min prep
time and 45 min in the classroom. The program will start
in January and will run 5 weeks for 4th and 5th grade, and 6 weeks for the
middle school. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Mary
Ann Sager at masager5@yahoo.com or 508-872-4989 as soon as
possible.

From the Health Office:
Fruits and vegetables are an important part of any healthy diet. If your family
