Lent 2008:  Week 4 - We Will Sow Seeds of Love by Serving

• We help those who are lonely or afraid.

• We help those who are hungry or cold.

• We help those who are sick or neglected.

• We help those who can give us nothing in return.

• We give our time, our friendship, our things and our money.

High School Registration
The Archdiocese of New York has set high school registration for Wednesday, March 5th after 2:30 PM. In order to avoid disruption of our afternoon, all eighth graders will be dismissed at 12:15 PM on March 5^th.    All eighth graders are expected to report to school that day for class and all should remain in school until 12:15 PM.  They will not eat lunch in school and we ask that you make arrangements to have them picked up promptly at that time.  Thank you so much.

Some Calendar Dates to Remember:

Some Deadlines

• We still have some families delinquent with February Tuition Raffle which was due on February 22^nd  As I’ve said before, all tuition, tuition raffle and Extended Day payments must be completed before records can be sent to other schools.
   

• Today the March Tuition Raffle is included in the packet.  As I explained previously, this month and in April you will be receiving 3 Tuition Raffle Tickets in stead of 2 because you will not receive any in June.  It’s still the same total amount for the year:  20, but we are spreading it over 9 months rather than 10.  We will draw two tickets during March and April.  So, play so you have a chance to win!!! 
   

• Congratulations to the parents of Elizabeth and Steven Ramdeo for winning the February Tuition Raffle!

Progress Reports
Some students will be receiving Progress Reports today.  Please check for this.   Take this opportunity to check on your youngster’s progress this quarter and if you are not happy, find out from the teachers what may be lacking.  Please sign the yellow copy and return it to your child’s teacher tomorrow.  You will be receiving a phone call if the Progress Report doesn’t make it home to you. 

Science Fair
Tomorrow, February 29^th, is our SHPS Science Fair.  Quite a few students are presenting projects.  Whether or not your youngster entered a project, you are welcome to come and view the projects in the APH fro 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.
