Due to the large number of students and family members that attend Barn Bash each year (nearly 1,000), we have made the decision to cancel the event for this year in order to exercise caution and keep our school community safe.

We look forward to when we can all safely gather together again! If you are interested in being a co-chair for this event next year please e-mail Kara Tinkler at [email protected]

We will switch the order of car rider dismissal when we reach the halfway point in the school year. Please be aware of this now if you are already scheduling activities for mid-January and later. Starting Tuesday, January 19, 2021, we will dismiss the L-Z car riders at 2:52 and the A-K car riders will be dismissed at 3:05.

There will be a school safety drill held on Wednesday, September 30.

This drill will allow students to listen to a scenario and decide if the best decision is to evacuate from the building or to stay in the classroom and barricade the door. These drills always allow time for students to reflect, process the different choices and make decisions, thus training how to think in an emergency.

Last week, a video of a man dying by suicide was live streamed on Facebook, recorded, and uploaded to TikTok. It has been reported and removed. Accounts that are trying to re-upload the video are being banned. Parents, use this as an opportunity to talk to your kids, not only about the awful content that is rampant on TikTok but also about mental health and what to do if a friend or they are struggling.

Gifts of gratitude was established by the Home and School Association as a united effort to provide a generous monetary gift to every school and parish teacher and staff member at Christmas and the end of the year to thank them for all they do for our children.

This is a convenient way for families to make sure that each teacher, aide, and staff member who touches your child’s life is recognized for all they do at St. Brigid. Instead of several small gifts from each student, each teacher and staff member will receive a monetary gift that they choose how to use–whether they want to splurge on themselves or help with their own family’s expenses.

Yes — the teachers and staff will receive a list of families who participate in this program. You may also let the teachers and staff know that you participated in the program by marking “G.O.G” inside your Christmas card.

The suggested annual gift amount is $25 per child once a year, however any given amount is graciously accepted!
