Angel Virtues Awards

In February, grades 2-4 focused on two virtues - trustworthiness and honesty. Grades 5 -8 focused on trustworthiness, honesty, gratitude and self-control. Each teacher in these grades chose students who modeled these virtues in an especially positive way. The following students will be announced in Mass next week. A pin for the student to wear at Mass will be presented to them. Congratulations to our Angels!

Each student will receive a RWTA 2024 T-shirt in Heather Gray. Room Moms and other parent volunteers are currently reaching out to collect your student(s) size(s). 

IF you would like to order additional shirts for family members, they are now available for $12.00 each. Our shirts are 100% cotton Fruit of the Loom T-shirts. The adult shirts are WHITE with the Run with the Angels logo on the front and all of the sponsor logos on the back.  

We will submit the order immediately after Spring Break and the order form will be shut down. After that, we will sell some shirts on a first come, first serve basis at the event on April 26th.

Cuts For Cancer

The Savio Cheerleaders will be hosting the 11th annual Cuts for Cancer on March 18th at 2:00pm at St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School! Participants can have a minimum of 8 inches of their hair cut and it will be sent to an organization that makes wigs for cancer patients. This event also collects monetary donations, which will be sent to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. 

If you or your child would like to donate your unprocessed hair, you can do it one of two ways:

• you can have your hair cut and place in a donation box that we would drop off at your school
• they can attend our assembly on March 18 at 2pm and have their hair cut at the event.

If you think your student would be interested in this, please let me know. We are also asking for sponsorship and donations for this event and your families have the opportunity to show their support by purchasing a Cuts for Cancer shirt.
