Upcoming Dates 

September 12 - No School/Teacher Inservice

September 15 - 7th & 8th Grade Grandparents Day, K-2 Progress Reports Go Home

September 27 - Feast of St. Vincent de Paul

This is a special day when students can share time together celebrating Mass followed by bingo, donuts, and coffee with grandparents or a special person in their lives.

Guests can arrive beginning at 8:10 A.M. and will meet their students in church. Mass will begin at 8:30 A.M., followed by coffee, donuts, and bingo in Kampschneider Hall. Due to the number of students and space limitations, we ask that each student limit attendance to two grandparents, special friends, or non-school age siblings. 

A sign up genius will be out soon with volunteer opportunities, please consider helping us make this event possible by volunteering.

Note that the 5th and 6th grade will celebrate Grandparents Day together in October rather than 6th being combined with 7th/8th. This will allow for a more comfortable environment for all of our guests.

REMINDER

**The church doors will be locked at 8:15 A.M. If you arrive after 8:15, there will be adults present to direct you.**

School Health Screenings are scheduled for Monday, September 22nd. Students in grades 1-4 will be screened (height, weight, vision, and hearing). Kindergarten, 7th grade, and out-of-state transfer students who did not complete vision or hearing screening at their physicals will also be screened. Students who are absent on screening day or who need to be re-tested for vision or hearing testing will do so on our Re-Screen Day on Monday, October 6th. Referrals will be sent out following the October 6th screening. When completing the health screening, we follow the guidelines set forth by the state of Nebraska. 

If you wish to opt your child(red) out of these screenings, please send an email to our school nurse, Natalie Gonzalez, stating which screening you wish for your child(ren) to not participate in no later than September 15th.

Marathon Kids

A new program that we have kicked off in grades 2-6 is our Marathon Kids. Hopefully your child has mentioned something about it. Once a week for a warm up, the students run for five minutes. After each completed lap around the volleyball court, the student will scan their card to keep track of laps and distance completed. After the first several weeks we have accumulated over 300 miles! Our school goal by May 8th is go over 7,200 miles. To put things in perspective, 30 laps around the volleyball court is equivalent to one mile. When you get a chance, stop by the gym and head to our Marathon Kids poster and check on your child’s status. Time to run!
