Happy Birthday to Our Blessed Mother Mary
|
|
Sister Elena's third grade class celebrated the Nativity of Mary with handmade cards that they delivered to Mary's statue at St. Agnes. |

COVID UPDATE
- Students MUST have a mask each day. We are already running low on spares in the office, so please send your child to school with one from home. We suggest putting a second mask in a plastic bag in your student's backpack.
-
Please keep your children home if they have symptoms (see below). Our families did a fantastic job last year and it's a critical key piece to keeping us here in person.
- It's interesting to note that the few diagnosed Covid cases we have seen here at Holy Family both this year and last have appeared to be allergies.

CHANGE IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE? |
If your child regularly rides the bus home from school but is not going to be riding one afternoon, please email or call the office before 2:00 PM to let us know. There are a lot of moving parts at dismissal and we need your help to keep our lists accurate. |

HOLY FAMILY EVENT CALENDAR
Please take some time to look through our amazing events calendar. Our teachers are doing the same and looking for a chance to connect with families outside of school! It's a great way to connect with other HFS families, especially the ones your student has been coming home talking about.
Please follow these steps to learn more about the efforts, events, and process.
Taking part in experiences and hosting events can count toward your TSF hours. Come have fun, meet new people, have a great experience, and earn your hours while you do it!

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. 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!
