ACTS of SERVICE
We continue to pray for the flood victims, but next Thursday the NJHS would like to lead our school community on our first act of service. Students may wear RED , WHITE, and BLUE for $3 on Thursday, September 7th as a show of support for the flood victims in Texas and symbolic of America's need to help! All proceeds will be given to Catholic Charities specifically for Texas flood relief.
Please support this great cause!
Picture Day is coming...

Order forms went home in hard copy today in Friday Folders. Get ready to look your best and say cheese!

A reminder from the school nurses:
If your child requires any medication while at school please bring them in as soon as possible and complete the required paperwork. We do not have a stock supply of epi-pens and each child requires their own while at school . Any questions, please contact us at mmanning@sfxacushnet.com
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter!
