With the large amount of snow, it is crucial to adhere to the procedures of dropping off in the morning, staying to the right, waiting patiently, and not passing cars in the right lane. Ensuring the safety of our students, staff, and parents is our utmost priority during morning drop-offs. Please remember to pull all the way up into the circle until you've reached the end of the curb for proper drop off procedure.

Don't forget to place your pizza lunch orders!
SVdP’s annual Catholic School Week Pizza Lunch will be held on Wednesday, January 31 and is a wonderful event allowing students, parents, and other special guests to come together for fellowship and Valentino’s. As noted in an earlier mailing, we are asking all families (including those who will not be present or who will provide their own lunch) to complete and submit the online Pizza Lunch order form. That will allow us to ensure having enough food and seating available.
We are extending the order period through the end of the day Friday, January 19, to get as many students accounted for as possible and save on time needed for follow-up phone calls. Click here to place your order now! And thanks to families who have already placed orders and provided payments.

Pizza lunch volunteers needed
The success of this year’s Pizza Lunch will depend on parent volunteers stepping up to help on the day of the event (January 31). Depending on your interests, you can assist with our Check-in table group, greeting and providing tickets to guests, or with our lunch helpers group, serving meals. A variety of time slots are available, so volunteering will still allow you to enjoy the Pizza Lunch with your own kids. Click here to sign up now. Your generous gift of time is appreciated!

Happy New Years, everyone! The PE department is looking at doing a cosmic bowling unit within the next month, but we are in need of some help. If you have any extra Christmas lights lying around that you no longer need, please feel free to drop them off at the school. We will use the lights to create our bowling lanes. I have some other disco lights and black lights that we will be using as well. There is still an off chance that there are some discounted lights on sale. Thank you for the consideration.
