FUNDRAISER FOR THE VOGELWEID LEARNING CENTER


St. Louis Cardinals Calendar

We are all part of Cardinals Nation! These official wall calendars measure 15” wide x 22” tall and feature spectacular photography from the Cardinals team photographers, the 2023 Cardinals spring training and regular season schedules plus traditional holidays and baseball related dates of note, and St. Louis area coupons. The cost for each calendar is $17 and Vogelweid keeps $7.50 from each calendar sold.  

Orders will be submitted on November 15th and calendars will be delivered in time for holiday gift giving. They will be sent home with the student indicated on the order form. Thank you for helping to support the Vogelweid Learning Center. GO CARDS!

Box of Joy

This month St. Peter Catholic School will be participating in Box of Joy, a Christmas gift ministry organized by local Catholic schools, parishes and groups nationwide. We will bless children suffering from extreme poverty by filling boxes with toys and other gifts, sharing the joy of Christmas and planting seeds of hope through the Gospel. We encourage everyone to pack a Box of Joy! Make it a fun family tradition! Choose the gender and age range of the child your family wants to bless. Then, have fun on your family shopping spree to personally select the items you feel a special boy or girl would really like! For more info and the do’s and don’ts check out boxofjoy.org


Last year, we participated in the outreach and our students did an amazing job! This year, we have set a goal to bless 200 impoverished children in Latin America and the Caribbean! 


Boxes will be available at school and at parent teacher conferences; the deadline for returning your packed Box of Joy will be November 14. Please bring your filled boxes to Mrs. Jones’s classroom. Donations to cover the shipping of the gifts overseas can be made online at crosscatholic.org/box-of-joy/online/#shipping

Scrip/Fundraising

Scrip News:

Raise Right is now offering smaller denominations of popular gift cards. Stock up now for Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers!


I am doing some Fall cleaning of scrip cards. If anyone can use the following cards, let me know.  I have these in stock and would love to find someone who can use them. Some the local stores have closed; others are extra stock; and I would love to use up what I have:

Red Robin

Jack in the Box

Lands End

Dunkin Donuts

Lowe’s $1000 card

Bob Evans

Outback Steakhouse

Long John Silvers

 

Sub Shop has closed temporarily, so I will not be reordering cards until they re-open.   

 

If you are needing to get gifts for your teachers this year for birthdays or Christmas, I have generic scrip certificates available at any time.
