Cardinals Corner | Edition #11 | October 31, 2019
A LETTER FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Families,

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your amazing support of our annual Halloween Festival.

Each year for decades, St. Rose of Lima has opened its doors to the community to invite thousands onto campus for one of the most fun nights of the year. Of course, this enormous effort takes nearly and equal number of volunteers to make everything happen, and I wanted to thank some of our families sincerely for their support:

The Murphy Family
The Zapalac Family
The Salch Family
The Trant Family
The Short Family
The Guevara Family
The Bar Dads
The Wooten Family
The Casady Family
The Donohue Family
The Lucas Family

The biggest impact is always made by the community who stepped up to make it happen. To those of you who help every year and to those who are new this year: Thank You! Our St. Rose Community once again showed its loving and giving heart.

This year was a record setting year for raffle ticket sales and sponsors – yes, again! These two factors combined made the festival a financial success! Participation in the raffle ticket sales (over $75,000) represents contributions of 96% of students, which is INCREDIBLE! Go Cardinals!

Thank you to our community sponsors for supporting nearly all the costs of this huge event. To support and sponsor this festival is to know how much this festival means to St Rose. Since our appreciation is boundless, please join us in recognizing our sponsors once more!

I sincerely hope you enjoyed the festival and will continue to be involved in many more years to come.

I am very grateful for all the Cardinals and Cardinal supporters who made it happen!!

Happy Halloween!

Bernadette Drabek, M.Ed.
Principal
Class of 1975
