As most of you know, our beloved music director Terry Piontkowski will be moving on from St. Alphonsus after 27 years of service. This year, he has been especially instrumental in our school masses, cantor program, and of course, our Youth Choir. At our school mass this week we honored him with a special intention, a blessing from Father Kevin, a signed banner from all of the students in school, and a beautiful arrangement of flowers.
Mr. Piontkowski will be with us at school mass one more time this year, for our Ash Wednesday service next week. You can also join the parish in honoring him with a concert of Thanksgiving on Sunday, February 26, at 3:30pm. A reception will follow.
Good luck and best wishes, Mr. P! May God bless you in your next adventures.

Save the Date for the Parish Auction! | |
|
Join us on Friday, April 21 for the Annual Parish Auction!
We would love to see lots of school families at the Parish Auction this year! For those who have never attended, it is a fantastic night with great food, drinks, camaraderie, and great items, all for a good cause! Gather friends and family, come by yourself, or make it a date night. We hope you see you there! Be on the lookout for registration information coming soon.
In the meantime, we are looking for sponsorships and donations for the auction. We have several school parents on the auction committee who will be working to put together some auction baskets and artwork pieces to be bid on at the auction. You can get an idea of what we are looking for in this letter, and we will have specific basket themes for you soon. You can send your donation items directly to school (please label them Parish Auction, Attn: Amy Schermetzler) with a completed donation form. You can also fill out a sponsorship form here.
Do you have something cool you could donate for a live auction item? Maybe you have a boat and we can plan a package involving a boat trip on a local lake. Or do you have a condo or cottage home-away-from-home we could base a live auction package on? If so, we would love to hear from you. You can contact Sue Ruedinger, Debbie Sievert, or Amy Schermetzler here at school with your ideas.

SCRIP is easy to purchase, easy to use and most importantly, you can earn rebates to use for your tuition!
Often, you can earn more purchasing SCRIP than you can using your credit card! As an example, Kwik-Trip is offering a 9%
rebate this month! Who has seen a return from your credit card like that anywhere? Raise Right offers many bonuses with hundreds of vendors throughout the year which translates to more money for your tuition next year! You can see all of the brands on the website, but here is just a sampling:
Retail: CVS, Disney, Hallmark, iTunes, JC Penney, JoAnn Fabrics, Kohl’s, Land’s End, Lowe’s, Marcus Theatres, Macy’s, Menards, Office Depot, PetSmart, Sam’s Club, Target, TJ Maxx, Walgreen’s, Walmart
Restaurants: Applebee’s, Arby’s, Broad Street Coffee, Buffalo Wild Wings, Carrabbas, Cheesecake Factory, Chili’s, Chipotle, Cousin’s Subs, Culver’s, Domino’s Pizza, Dunkin’ Donuts, Longhorn Steakhouse, Maggiano’s, Milk Can Diner, National Bakery, Noodles & Co., Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, Panera Bread, Papa Murphy’s, Pizza Hut, QDoba, Red Lobster, Red Robin, Starbucks, Subway, Taco Bell, TGIFridays, That’s Amore, Wendy’s
Gas & Grocery: BP, Festival, Kwik Trip, Meier, Pick N Save, Piggly Wiggly, Sendiks, Speedway, Woodman’s
Last year, several families earned over $100 towards their tuition. There are a number of non-school families who are still purchasing their SCRIP and donating back to St. Alphonsus School. Enroll now and start your savings!
