PARENT NEWS:
- Family Photos Needed: To help connect families to one another at St. Dominic School the Family Fun Committee would like to display each family’s photo with your names on the board across from the school office in the month of January. Please submit a 4×6 photo (approx.) with everyone’s name written on the back to Jane in the office before Christmas break. (A casual snapshots or extra Christmas card photo will work fine.)
- Please remember Lorena when you are Christmas shopping. She is paid only a small stipend, so it would be wonderful if we could share our Christmas spirit. She may need some warm clothing to help her through this season!
- Northfield’s Winter Walk is TONITE, December 4th. We have been invited to carol at Bridge Square from 6 – 6:30.
- A “Moms in Touch” Coffee is planned for Wednesday, Dec. 10th. “Moms in Touch” is a small group of women that meet to pray for our school, children, and staff. They meet on Wed. mornings from 8:00 to 9:00 in the church basement, although the time we meet can be flexible. Come on the 10th and learn more about the wonderful things that we do.
- For the safety of the children, please do not drive through the school’s driveway during recess times. Morning recess runs from 9:45 – 10:00; second recess is 11:25 – 11:45. Please park on Spring Street or St. Olaf Avenue.
- Morning Drop Off: We are getting closer and closer to having everyone on board with our drop-off plan in the morning. A couple of reminders: Wait your turn in the drop lane before exiting and please only drop on the tar area. Thank you for your efforts to keep everyone safe!
