Dear St. Isidore Families,
A sweet ending to a new beginning
This Friday, May 24, will be a 12:00 p.m. dismissal and the
Class of 2019’s last day of being picked up in the infamous SIS carpool
. We are blessed to have a school that serves students from TK through eighth grade. Many students began their journey at SIS as small, sweet,
EXCITED
little five-year-olds and are now ending their journey as compassionate, educated,
EXCITED
teenagers. St. Isidore School has truly been a home away from home for them and is, in essence, where they have grown up. It has been a gift to be part of their journey.
As the class of 2019 prepares to move on, so do many parents. They, too, have spent countless hours at SIS. They have worked in the classrooms, chaperoned field trips, served as room moms and dads, and dropped off and picked up their children thousands of times. I appreciate the time, commitment, and love they have shown this school. It has been a gift to be part of their journey as well!
Please know that SIS will always be a
HOME
for you and your children. The following eighth grade families are moving on, and we will miss you:
The Andrews Family, the Barsi Family, the Biles Family, the Cabeceiras Family, the Carney Family, the Coleman Family, the Connell, the Conte Family, the DeGracia Family, the Dublin Family, the Gibson Family, the Gin Family, the Giorgi Family, the Kennedy Family, the Lendall Family, the Lew Family, the Mazzetti Family, the McCormac Family, the Motas Family, the Novak Family, the Pacas Family, the Piombo Family, the Powers Family, the Rosaia Family, the Rossi Family, the Rusnak Family, the Sandbergen Family, the Schock Family, the Stapleton Family, the Stein Family, the Storey Family, the Torneros Family, the Vranesh Family, and the Wong Family.

Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Fun Run. The rain may have brought us inside, but it didn’t wash away the fun. The kids had a blast!

Easy Summer learning tips for parents:
Eat smart, eat healthy! Kids need help eating healthy. Without the structure of the school day, some kids tend to eat tons of junk food during the summer. Keep plenty of fresh fruits and veggies on hand.

This is a perfect time to say
“Thank you”
to all of our first time SCRIP buyers, our new families and our outgoing 8th grade families who are graduating from St. Isidore’s. Thank you for supporting St. Isidore School and for making SCRIP a part of your routine. Did you know that moving on from St. Isidore’s doesn’t have to mean that your SCRIP buying days are over? We have “graduated” families who stop by monthly to place their orders, and we hope that you will do so too.
If Disneyland and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is on the horizon for your summer plans then add a few cards to your order, and you will be feeling happy before you even get there.
As summer is approaching place your orders for upcoming graduation gifts, teacher gifts, Father’s Day and birthdays.
May 30 will be the last day to place Special Orders for this school year. We will be accepting Classic Design Scrip Orders until Thursday May 23 so get your orders in!
Thank you for shopping with Scrip!
Calling all Amazon shoppers!
St. Isidore School is excited to now be participating in the AmazonSmile Account Program. The AmazonSmile Foundation kindly donates 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products to the charitable organization of your choice. To designate SIS as the organization of your choice please
