SCHOOL NEWS 

Dear Parents and Community Members,


As many of you know, Virtus is an important part of our Curé of Ars community. Our school prides ourselves on parent volunteers and involvement in various ministries. It is important that all parents and other adults who choose to spend time volunteering in our school are virtuous.  


We wanted to reach out to let you all know that online training will be terminated on September 19th. Anyone who has a pending account, or has not completed documents will have to begin over through live training if not completed by Sept 19th. Completing virtus online is a convenient way to knock this out from the convenience of your home. Hours can be flexible, and based around your current schedules. 


Please be aware that virtus is required for all parents with students enrolled at Curé of Ars. Take a few moments this summer to take advantage of this online opportunity!

Our eighth graders are off to a great start already! Two groups spent time volunteering at Giving the Basics and Cure’s sister school, Holy Name, this week. 


At Giving the Basics, we learned about the need for basic necessities like soap, toothpaste, and toilet paper and their importance in assuring each person’s human dignity. Then we got to work packaging bandaids, shampoo, chapstick, and other items.


At Holy Name, we stuffed backpacks with school supplies for their students. Unfortunately, we realized there is a dire need for supplies to fill these backpacks. We would like to help. We’ll have bins in the church vestibule to collect items until next Tuesday, Aug. 16. If you can help, please donate as soon as possible so we can deliver the supplies for their first day of school next week. Here are some of the needed items with some estimated numbers:


Spiral notebooks - wide-ruled (150)

Packages of colored construction paper (15)

Elmer’s glue (60)

Colored pencils

Pencil boxes/bags (50)

Headphones for iPads and Chromebooks

Blue or black pens

Markers

Glue sticks

Erasers 

Reusable water bottles

Hand sanitizer

Disinfecting wipes

Baby wipes

Paper towels


Thank you in advance for your generosity!
