Dear (Contact First Name),
Catholic Schools Week begins on Saturday, January 30th with Open House from 2:00-4:00 PM and Mass at 4:30 PM. Please join us in celebration of Catholic education. Take a walk through the classrooms, and enjoy the wonderful displays of student work. Please invite any prospective families you know who may be interested in St. Leander School.
Bundle Up!
Winter days are cold and rainy! While we are thankful for the gift of rain, we also want to keep our little ones dry. We often need to move from both campuses to the church or from the primary school to the big school. Please make sure your children have rubber soled shoes and warm coats with hoods to help keep them dry on these rainy days.

We are also still looking for a few people to help chair this event. We need one person to make reminder phone calls to volunteers and create a master list of the volunteer schedule (3 volunteer hours will be given for this job) and we are in need of someone to help plan family night with fun activities (4 volunteer hours will be given for this job). We are also looking for one or two people who can be available all or most of the book fair times to be a main cashier and be there to total out the register each day. You can earn up to 8 hours for this job. Please contact Ms. Cross at the school office if you are interested in helping out.
