SCHOOL CALENDAR
WE NEED YOU! It's not too late to contribute to your teacher's holiday gift. If you haven't made your one time donation to the Cardinal Fund, please consider doing so this week. The Cardinal Fund covers teacher gifts and MUCH, MUCH MORE!!! I still need to make my CARDINAL FUND DONATION TODAY.
GRATITUDE This time of year, some of the greatest stressors are the time, money and energy that go into party planning and gift giving. We would like to thank all the parents who volunteered to shop for 95 staff members. Using Cardinal Fund donations made by 70% of our families, these volunteers were able to purchase every staff member a personal winter gift ($50 value). We find peace and great joy in knowing that every staff member is valued and appreciated for the contribution they make to our school.
