Dear Parents,
Today we are mailing our final donation check, gifts cards, and colorful prayers to St. Catherine School in Port Arthur, Texas. Our total donation is an AMAZING $10,137! St. Catherine School has re-opened this week with a Mass of Thanksgiving and with 2 classrooms and several makeshift learning areas.
They have been able to provide free lunch to students and replace damaged school supplies due to the donations of so many Catholic school children whom they are now calling their Harvey Heroes. Thank you 10,000 times over to all of the Harvey Heroes at St. Brigid of Kildare for your prayer support and donations for our friends in Texas.
The 2017-18 Family Directory will soon be ready. Notification and directions for access will be sent out in a separate email to all parents by next Wednesday.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you at 6:30 pm tonight at Crucial Conversations 2.0.
Blessings,
Kathy O'Reilly

School Garden News
We had a great summer in the garden and still have much to do! We have tomatoes, peppers, herbs and flowers in bloom now. Most are ready to be picked by any interested families... just stop by the garden whenever you are at school. The ALSO Garden Club (grades 4 - 6) will be starting again soon (details are in the program above).
Please remember the garden if you have spare baskets, mason jars, orphan plants or anything we can use, we are happy to take it! You can just drop it off in the garden. Any adults interested in volunteering with the Garden this fall, please leave your contact information for "Papa" Jack Rekstis via the school office.
