Dear St. Monica School Families,
Catholic Schools Week is coming soon! It is the national celebration of the important role that Catholic elementary and secondary schools across the nation play in providing a Christ-centered foundation and academic excellence for America’s young people. Please join us anytime during the week of January 27- February 1st. Look for the flyer in today’s packet to read all about the activities. We look forward to seeing you!

Weather Concerns: In the event of bad weather, please check the major TV and radio stations. Our school website will also be changed to reflect any changes as will the voicemail on the main office phone. Because well over half of our school families do not live on Mercer Island, we need to consider the weather conditions in the surrounding areas as well and will make the call regarding school delays and closures in the best interest of all. Thanks for your understanding and support!

Stewardship Cards: Thanks to those who have heeded the call and recently turned in Parish Stewardship cards. It is much appreciated. If you have not yet done so, please turn them in at the school or parish office as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support!

Tuition Assistance Applications for 2008-2009:  Applications must be completed online this year through the Archdiocese of Seattle. Deadline is March 14th. http://fulcrumfoundation.org/Tuition

Further details are in today’s School Newsletter. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Gentle Reminder:  Please remember to be mindful and courteous of our neighbors when picking or dropping off students in the front of the school. Thank you for your cooperation.

NO SCHOOL January 21st….Martin Luther King Holiday

As always, I am just a phone call or an email away and my door is always open!

May God bless you and those you love!
