THANK YOU, MR. SCHULTZ
Middle School

Mr. Kirby Schultz was gracious enough to step out of retirement to serve as a short-term substitute until we were able to hire a full-time ELA teacher. Mr. Schultz has been a positive influence and a great role model to both our students and staff alike, and he has left an indelible mark here at Holy Family.

It’s Box Tops for Education time again! Now that the school year has started, we’d love to collect the Box Tops you’ve been saving at home. Please send them to school so they can be mailed in and redeemed before the next expiration date of November 1, 2021. You may have noticed fewer products carrying the actual Box Top. The company is gradually moving toward using an app and will soon stop printing Box Tops on packages. |
|
|
|
You can find this app in the App Store, and it is available for iPhones and Android free of charge. Once you download it, you’ll be able to find our school and start earning credit for your purchases immediately by scanning your receipt. If you have been shopping virtually using online grocery services, the app can accept emailed receipts. We have volunteers available to scan receipts if you'd like to send yours to school in a sealed envelope. Remember that Box Tops is the biggest (and easiest!) HASA fundraiser and all money earned is returned DIRECTLY to Holy Family School through experiences and activities for students as well as teacher appreciation gifts and luncheons. Please encourage family and friends to download the app! Last year we earned over $1000! Thank you for supporting Holy Family School!

Gather together at St. Agnes Church to pray the Liturgy of the Hours on Monday mornings after drop off and Fridays before dismissal. Please enter Church through Door # 4
What is Liturgy of the Hours? This prayer is also known as the Divine Office. It is a beautiful tradition in the Church and highly encouraged for all! Since there are prayers for different times of the day, it is beautiful to consider how many others are praying the same prayers, at the same time, joining together for a relationship with God and one another. Also, it is a wonder to consider that these are the prayers that Jesus Himself prayed.
Connect with other Holy Family parents and community members. Click here for more information. Contact Holy Family parent Jennifer Poehlmann with questions.

SCRIP
A mesage from Scrip Coordinator Kristina Wery
Thank you to everyone who has been ordering online and turning your pink folders in on time! Please make sure that when you do order online that you send in your pink envelope which we use to fill your order and deliver it to your child’s classroom!
Scrip volunteers, please continue signing up for open selling spots! We could use some sellers at both churches on Saturdays so if you already attend mass and could come in early to sell that would be much appreciated! If you are interested in selling and aren’t receiving sign-up emails yet just let me know and we will get you added to the list!
Kwik Trip is still on special with a 9% rebate for a few weeks yet so please take advantage of it! Thankscriping day is also coming up on September 16-17th with bonus rebates up to 20%! More details will follow!
