- Magazine Drive Report: We sold 674 magazine subscriptions; totaling $14,244.00. Of this total, our school profited $5697.60. The Kindergarten class averaged 5.04 sales per student and the 5th Grade 5 class averaged 5.38 sales per student earning both classes a pizza party. Congratulations and thank you to all the students and families for participating in this fundraiser.
- The Education Committee has started meeting at the church, along with the other parish committees on a monthly basis. The typical day is the fourth Tuesday of the month. However, some dates have needed to be adjusted. Education Committee meetings are open to the public, but people who wish to speak need to be on the agenda. If there is a time you would like to be on the agenda, please e-mail or call the school one week prior to the meeting date. In your request, include your topic and the length of time needed. Thank you!
- 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!
