Thank you to Student Council for a very Spirited week and to everyone for making Grandparent's Day a success. Everyone certainly looked like they were having a great time and how awesome was Mass with everyone in our new church!
Monday begins our Week of Caring. Be sure you have read Tidbits and know what is happening. You should be encouraging your students to participate in the food and school supply drives happening this week. The week ends with Marvelous Mustang and Jean Day. Please be sure to go over the Jean Day rules with your students. Sunday is our parish picnic. I am asking that everyone try their best to come to the 11:30 a.m. Sunday Mass Oct. 1. Bishop Parks will be there to help celebrate the church's 30th Anniversary. Our Parish Picnic is right after that on the Parish property. Bouncy Houses and Burgers for all!! Remember to wear a St. Stephen t-shirt - school or parish.
October 7 we will start a new tradition. Any student attending Mass on the second Sunday of the month (or the Saturday vigil Mass the day before) in their school uniform, will receive a holy card from the presiding priest. It will be up to the child to get it directly from the priest after Mass. If the child comes to school the next school day (in this case, Monday, Oct. 9) and shows their holy card to their teacher, they may have free dress that day. One hour in uniform for a full day of free dress sounds like a good deal. I will talk on the morning show and in the classrooms next week about this. Also, there is no Mass the week of Oct. 2.
Have a great week!
