Please keep in mind, only the items listed for this year’s contest be be counted towards our totals. St. Agnes students will put forth a gallant effort to help our school with recycling.
Working with Keep Alliance Beautfil and the Students for Recycling contest will be a great service project. Our students do an awesome job helping to beautify our school grounds and our community. Thank you and always, Think Green!
Students and staff are requested to wear blue and/or white this Friday as the entire staff and student body will meet in the gym at 12:45 for a whole school picture for the yearbook. Thank you to Melissa Brennan for her willingness to help with the yearbook this year! She will be our photographer on Friday. Please contact Mrs. Gould with any questions. The yearbook goes to print on 3/3/13! Sales for the yearbook will begin next week.
Parents, please keep current on your lunch charges—they are really starting to add up.
A gentle reminder that checks written for Parents Inc., fundraisers, scrip, lunches and tuition need to be written separately as they are all individual accounts. We do not keep cash on hand at school so we are unable to move the money from one account to another.
The St. Agnes Foundation Annual 50/50 Fundraiser is this Thursday, February 28, at the Westside Events Center. Good luck to all who purchased tickets.
