This Thursday, grades 1-5 will participate in a presentation focused on building peer relationships. This anti-bullying program will be conducted by A Better Way.

Our Passion Play was originally scheduled for March 10. Please note that we will not be doing a Passion Play this year. We are also not participating in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade on March 14.
 
Registration Packets for current families will be distributed next Wednesday, March 11. K-4 families will receive a green folder with re-enrollment information. Please fill out the green and yellow papers and turn them in with your family’s $50 registration fee by April 9. After April 9, we will allow new students to begin enrolling for 2020-2021.
 
Friday, March 13, is a Casual Dress Day. We ask that each student bring one pack of baby wipes for Project Gabriel.
 
Friday, March 13, is an early-release day. Children can be picked up at 1:00PM. Any child not picked up by 1:15PM will go to After-School Care and will NOT be charged unless they stay after 3:15PM.
 
Quarter 3 ends March 9. Grade reports are scheduled to be sent home on March 18.
 
Both Father Hellmann and Father Williams have out-of-town commitments on March 18, so we will not have school Mass. Students should be dropped off at SLCS that morning.

SLCS is scheduled to be off for Spring Break starting Friday, March 20 (assuming we don’t have to cancel any days before then). We will return to school Monday, March 30.
 
Students who go an entire month with no Discipline Slips, Tardy Slips, or Dress Code violations earn a free Casual Day. In February, 22 of our 46 students earned this reward.
 
SLCS would like to thank The Back-to-School Teacher Store for their generous donations of school supplies and classroom materials. In 2019, our school received $6,411.80 in free supplies (up from $3,824 in 2018).
 
All locations of Vogue Cleaners will give a 20% discount on dry cleaning our uniform plaid jumpers and skirts. They will restore the pleats as well. Mention “Saint Lawrence Catholic School” when dropping off your garments to get the discount.
 
Congratulations to our February Virtues in Practice recipients! These students represented Saint Lawrence Catholic School proudly by modeling Prudence (Making good decisions in specific circumstances).
 
Dakota Allen-Grade 5
 
“Dakota often makes good choices during school Masses when he is leading by example. He chooses to do the right thing by showing kindness to the younger students”.                                                                                                                                                                   -Mrs. Cunnington
Tanner Mullis-Grade 2
“It is easy to get distracted by others during class. Tanner tries to sit near classmates who will not tempt him to be distracted and who will help him make good choices. Even though he would rather sit by his close friends, he knows that making this sacrifice will help him focus on his work”.                                                                         -Miss Kline
 
Our March virtue is Respect (Recognizing the dignity of all people).
