Cardinals Corner | Edition #10 | October 24, 2019
A LETTER FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents,
 
As a student here in the seventies, the Halloween Festival was one of the most memorable events I attended. I loved watching my teachers, the school secretaries, the priest and all my friends dress up in costume. This quickly became a tradition for my own family, and continues today for my grandchildren.
 
While we are building a new building and looking toward a bright future for our community, St. Rose of Lima has never given up its traditions. We will always have the Halloween Festival and tomorrow night it may rain – but we will not let that dampen our Halloween spirit!

The Astros will still be playing Game 3 in the West Hall, the beer garden will be under cover, rides and games will be housed under roofing, and free hot chocolate will flow all evening! Outside heating and the Middle School Dance are on, as well!
 
It is going to be a fabulous evening in our community, and I hope to see you there!
 
There’s still time to turn in your raffle tickets – you have until noon tomorrow to turn in for a chance at a $2,000 gift card, a $500 gift card, a brand new bicycle, an IPad, and even a tuition waiver for the spring!
 
Tomorrow morning, I’ll be in the auditorium with Mr. Miller's Rock Band, our fantastic Halloween Chairs, and a huge announcement as well!
 
It's time to celebrate!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN,
 
Mrs. Drabek, M.Ed.
Class of 1975
Principal
