CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
WEEK BEGINS
December was such an amazing month of activities and
service projects. I tried to included photos of all that we had
going on, but I could not put them all as there were so
many!
A bit of good news, if you remember the St Bernard’s
Development Foundation Color Run in September, we had
the most participants in the run so we received $1000 for
PE equipment. Way to go BSCS Team!
In January, we have Mardi Gras party, parade and baskets
(see all the great class baskets below). The party will be held
at St Bernard’s Auditorium, there will be live and silent
auctions, basket winners will be announced plus cuisine and
entertainment. Be sure to send in your invitations filled out
if you plan to attend and sell those raffle tickets; they are
only $1 each!!!
This month can bring some unpredictable weather so I have
included (below) what to do in case of inclement weather.
And if we miss school, we have the return of “Cyber Days”
which we will send out if conditions look daunting.
Beginning at the end of the month is NATIONAL
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK. A separate email will tell the
schedule for the week, so be on the look-out.
Blessings,
Mrs. Kelly Gabe
