THANK YOU to everyone who supported our P.T.O. Fall Festival over the weekend. Thanks for working shifts, donating items, purchasing raffle tickets, and simply being present. I enjoyed seeing dozens of familiar faces from our school at the event, and I appreciated your work and generosity. Thank you for making our festival a success!
 
Our volleyball team defeated West View last Thursday (6-25, 27-25, 15-10). The next game is tomorrow (Thursday) at home versus South View. Good luck, girls!
 
Our first Skating Party is tomorrow (Thursday), at Gibson’s Skating Arena, 2610 South Mock Avenue (a few blocks from school) from 6:00 - 8:00PM. All are welcome, children do not have to be current Saint Lawrence students to attend. See the yellow flyer that was distributed, as well as the September 12 email, for details.
 
Family Day is Monday, September 24, 1:30-3:00PM. Plan to have as many family members as possible at the event, each student’s  entire family is encouraged to participate. This includes parents, step-parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. Families are invited to tour our school, meet the staff, and hear presentations from each class about their Religion Fair project. Students have been hard at work creating these displays, and are hopeful that their family members will come to see what they have made. There will also be a musical performance in the gym. Each student has a part to play in the Religion Fair.
 
Our Scholastic Book Fair starts Monday, September 24 (same as Family Day). The fair will be open September 24-27. Check out the great deals on new books and educational items! There will be only one Book Fair this school year, so stock up on Christmas gifts.
 
We are in need of an assistant Boys’ Basketball coach. If you are interested, please let Mr. Frey know. The position needs to be filled by October 1.

Our school is celebrating “Socktober” this year! We’re collecting new packs of child and adult socks to donate to Muncie Mission. Socks may be brought to Miss Smith’s room starting October 1. All students who donate socks will be entered into a drawing for prizes at the end of the month. Last day to donate socks is October 31. An orange form with more details will be sent home tomorrow.
 
Shadow Day at Pope John Paul II Middle School was a success. If you have any questions about enrolling your child at PJP next year for middle school, please let me know. I would be happy to facilitate a discussion with Mrs. Schlabach, PJP principal.
 
As we move towards fall, remember that we sell long-sleeved SLCS polo shirts ($20) and grey jackets ($35) out of the office. Cash, check, or cards are accepted at time of purchase.
 
SLCS will be on Fall Break the week of October 8-12. School resumes Monday, October 15.
 
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be October 17-18 from 3:00-6:00PM. Please be thinking about a time slot that will work for you.
