-BARKER'S BULLETIN-


Greetings,

 

Happy Friday! I want to thank Mr. Korte, the Men’s Club, and to all those who helped organize and put on this year’s fundraiser golf outing. God blessed us with beautiful weather for the event held at Gowaine Golf Club. It was a great day of fun and fellowship. Thank you to all the golfers and generous donations. It was a great day! The outing takes place every year on the first Monday in October. Join us next year!

 

The kindergarten’s had a wonderful field trip to Blake’s Cider Mill this past Wednesday. Again, a perfect day for a trip to the cider mill. Thank you to Mrs. Maddalena, Ms. Aluia, Mrs. Mahalak, and the parent volunteers.

 

A reminder that tomorrow, Saturday 10/12, is Haunted Garage from 6-9:30 pm. If you plan on going, please mention Star of the Sea. The school will receive a portion of those ticket sales. This Wednesday, 10/16 is Spirit Wear Day! NO SCHOOL for students this Thursday (10/17) and Friday (10/18). The teachers will be at a conference downtown on both days.

 

In closing, I pray you have a safe and restful weekend. Go Tigers!!! 

 

God Bless,  

Mr. Barker

Thank you to all those who participated in our most recent Jet's Pizza Fundraiser. While there was some confusion at the location with the employees, the fundraiser was still honored. These fundraising dollars go to supporting future events at Star. The next Jet's Day is November 13.

Scholastic Book Fair

 

Get ready—the Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! This is a great opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing home new books to dive into again and again. Studies show that kids read more when they choose books for themselves. And fostering a love of independent reading leads to a wide variety of benefits—including academic success and improved mental health.

 

Here’s everything you need to know about the Book Fair:

 

Dates: November 4-7, 2024 and at conferences

Location: Library

Family Event schedule and location: After School Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday until 3:45 for parents and parishoners.
