Raffle Baskets Draw - Friday, June 16th
The St. Stephen Catholic School Council will be holding their Raffle Basket Draw tomorrow afternoon! Your children have brought home a booklet of raffle tickets to be sold. Anyone buying a ticket has a chance to win one of many beautiful theme baskets. Tickets are $2.00 each, or three tickets for $5.00. Tomorrow, Friday, June 16th, is the last day to bring in your purchased tickets, as the draw will be held in the afternoon. A reminder to all parents that this is strictly voluntary and children are asked not to go door to door to sell tickets. Tickets can be sold to family members, close friends or, if parents wish, co-workers. Once tickets are sold, please place the tickets and the money in an envelope or ziplock bag and have your child return it to your child’s teacher. Proceeds raised through this fundraiser will support our School Council initiatives and programs. Many amazing items have been brought into the classes and the filled baskets are on display at the front entrance of the school. We wish you all good luck in the draw! |

Open House
We will be having our Open House, on Thursday, May 4th, from 8:30-9:30 am. All parents are invited to attend and visit their children’s classrooms as the students work on a variety of exciting math activities. Students will remain in their classrooms to work on solving these problems, while the parents visit the classrooms and walk throughout the school. The choir will also be singing for the parents who attend. Finally, the dance team will perform their dance at 8:45 am, in the gym. Parents won’t be able to attend the Dance Showcase at Sacred Heart, so the Open House will be the opportunity for parents to see the team perform. |
