FOOD PANTRY: there is an ongoing collection for our food pantry during November and December. Please see last week’s memo for the specifics. Also, they have requested that we ask for gently used children’s books to distribute with the Thanksgiving and Christmas food items. Since we started collecting used books for the food pantry a couple of years ago, it has become very popular and they would like to continue the practice. Thank you for your generosity!!!

 Don’t forget!  The book fair is in the St. Bridget school library this week.  It will continue through Friday the 16th for students to visit.  In addition, the book fair will be open before the PTO meeting on Wednesday the 14th and at the Craft Fair on Sunday, the 18th for anyone who is unable to make it during the week.   Every student should have received a flyer this week.  The flyers represent only a small sample of the books available for purchase.  Books make wonderful Christmas gifts, so stop in to see what is available.  We accept cash and checks (made out to St. Bridget PTO), but not credit cards.  We do not collect sales tax for this event.  All profits go directly to the school library.   Listed below is the schedule for when each class will be going to the fair.  If you  have any questions about the Book Fair or would like to volunteer helping the children pick out books, please contact Karen Ostrowski at 508-881-1302 or Kathy Schwab at 508-429-5188.

Picture re-takes have been scheduled for Monday, Nov 19th, giving everyone enough time to decide if you wish re-takes or need to have pictures taken for the first time if the children were absent on Sept. 20th. If you are having re-takes taken please make sure the children have their original package of pictures with them the day of re-takes. If you are having first time pictures, the original form is needed, if you don’t have your original form they are available at the office.

Tell your neighbors and friends!! There will be an Open House for prospective families on Thursday, November 15 at 6:30 pm.
