On Christmas each family
attending The Holy
Sacrice of the Mass was
given The Four Signs of a
Dynamic Catholic by
Matthew Kelly. Inside the
book was a sticker for our
parish school. The
sticker was from a parish
donation to help advertise
our school. If you support
Catholic Education, we
would greatly appreciate
your attaching the sticker
to your automobile or
home window.

St. Mary PTO - Pennies for Playground
Pay Our Loan Off campaign:

The time has come to bring in all the coin & bills you have been saving since the fall,
and get ready for our Pennies for Playground Pay Our Loan Off spring campaign.

It begins on Monday, March 17 through Friday, March 21 (mornings only).

This time ANYTHING GOES (coin & bills), and the class that brings in the most money
will have a pizza party hosted by the PTO. (The time & date of the party will be determined,
once we speak with the teacher of the winning classroom).

We will need parent volunteers to count money every morning, immediately following
prayer, beginning around 8:40 am. If you are able to help, please email Cindy
Majlinger, PTO Treasurer, at ctmx67@yahoo.com. Remember, all volunteer time will
go towards your required service hours for this school year.

We are nearing our goal, but still have some work to do. If we are successful in paying
off our $4,000 loan, and if there are excess funds, we would like to purchase a bench
and trash container for the playground area.

The victorious class will be mentioned during the Friday, March 21
st
afternoon
announcements.

As always, on behalf of your St. Mary PTO we thank you,
your children & the staff for participating in our
program.



Can we meet our school-wide
goal of reading 40,000 pages?
YES WE CAN!
Beginning March 3 March 28, our entire school will participate in March Reading
Month. Our goal will be 40,000 pages.
During the month, classes will be asked to submit a short persuasive essay, to Mrs.
Stager, explaining what she should do if the school meets our goal of 40,000 pages.
Mrs. Stager will review all essays submitted, and the class and/or individual who
submits the most convincing essay will win. Of course, the subject must remain
practical. Mrs. Stager will not jump out of an airplane!
Your homeroom teacher will instruct you on when you should begin your short essay,
however, all are due by Friday, March 28.
Are you up for the challenge, Mrs. Stager?
