A packet was sent home today regarding our upcoming Circle of Grace (COG) lessons. COG is a program that our Diocese uses to help children understand how special they are and how relationships are called to be sacred. This can help them protect themselves and to be respectful of others. For details: https://education.dol-in.org/circle-of-grace

Our Veterans Day Dinner is November 9! If you have served or are serving in the U.S. military, or you have a relative or friend who has served, send in a photograph for our slideshow by November 2. We need the person’s name, branch, years of service, and their relation to one of our students. Email your photo to e.smith@stlawrencemuncie.org. If you bring in a hard copy photo, include your contact information so it can be returned.
Make plans now to attend our Veteran’s Day Dinner on November 9. A flyer was emailed yesterday. Please encourage family, friends and neighbors to come. Please consider volunteering to help with serving, cleanup, etc. Many hands make light work!
On the original Boys Basketball schedule, I mistakenly listed the November 15 contest as a 5:00PM Scrimmage. This is actually a game that begins at 3:30PM at Saint Lawrence.
