Parent Letter 2-6-12
February 6, 2012
Dear Parents:
Last week was filled with fun, energy and a tremendous school spirit. We ended Catholic Schools Week with a beautiful Mass. The entire week was meaningful and successful. The children enjoyed all of the events – from service projects to fun with music and dance to a lively talent show. Thank you again for being here, for all of the support you gave during the entire week. A special thank you to Shane Morrison who coordinated the donut making.
The Mardi Gras is Saturday. This is a huge fundraiser and many people have spent hours preparing for this great event. I hope to see you there, having a good time and bidding. We have great items for sale and I know the food will be delicious.

As we look forward to the K & PreSchool Roundups, I ask all of you to market our school. We need to continue to grow. I would like to have more children attending and by Fall 2012 exceed 100 students. We have a wonderful faculty – tuition should not be viewed as a problem. Nothing is impossible if we communicate our needs and work together.
A special thank you to Bonnie & Steve Monfeldt for coordinating the cookie sale. They gave of their time and talents to make the sale a huge success. Please remember to mark your calendar for cookie pickup day - February 17 – 2:00-5:00 in the lunch room.
Today Mrs. Weets dropped off some Watkins catalogs. Over the years she has given our school the opportunity to order and gives a % back to the fundraising efforts. If you wish to order Watkins, please stop by the office and place your order. Thank you.
Have a wonderful week and thank you for all your support and for all you do for Queen of Peace School.
See you at Mardi Gras!!!
Sincerely,
Sister Therese
