November 2008
November is the month that we celebrate Thanksgiving – a time to thank God for all of our blessings. Student Council will be sponsoring a food drive during the month of November to help the food pantries in the Archdiocese. Please be generous!
GOOD NEWS! Several of our Eighth Grade Students competed in the annual Roselle Catholic Scholastic Olympics in October. I am happy to announce that Monica Youn placed 1st in the Art competition. She will receive a $300 scholarship to Roselle Catholic for her freshman year. We are so proud of our 8thgraders who volunteered to participate in the Scholastic Olympics, and we congratulate Monica on her accomplishment! We are proud to have had winners in the Scholastic Olympics every year we’ve been the Academy.
Thank you to Mr. Gary Martin, dad of Halle and Tyler, who donated his time and material to fix the holes in our parking lot. It is wonderful to have parents who volunteer to help us in any way they can! This is what makes our Academy family the best!
Thank you to all who donated to or participated in our Trunk or Treat! It is always a fun experience for our students.
Our First Trimester ends on Friday, November 21. Report cards will be distributed to parents at Conferences on Monday, November 24 and Tuesday, November 25. Because of Conferences, students will be dismissed at NOON on those two days. A parent MUST come in and meet with the teacher. Report cards will not go home with students! You will be receiving a letter concerning conferences later during the month.
If you have not done so already, send your email address to smeacademynews@yahoo.com. We will be able to email important reminders to you during the school year. Do not use student email addresses, however. Send parent email addresses only!
Just a reminder – there is no After CARES on Wednesday, November 26 (day before Thanksgiving Vacation). This will be the case for all of our Noon Dismissal days before a holiday.
Be sure to check the monthly calendar for additional upcoming events.
I join with our faculty and staff in wishing all of you a Happy Thanksgiving!
