A note from the Bazaar Chairs, Mike & Joni O'Neill:The 2009 St. Francis de Sales Christmas Bazaar was a great success.
We would like to thank all those that contributed in any way to make it so successful. Without individuals like you, we would not have been able to go on.
There are countless hours in the soliciting for donations, the baking of the food, the set-up / tear down and pick-ups. What makes everything fall into place are the individuals that commit themselves to work this event every year.
I would like to thank Dr. Spain and Father Bob for their extra patience and understanding during this hectic time.
We need to give a special thanks the Szekely’s who resurrected the classroom art auction by taking on the Chair position and moving forward, working within the parameters allowed, and making it so successful.
We need to thank the Teachers for making concessions and being patient with all the extra paperwork being handed out and all the donations coming in.
Someone who I always forget but really plays a key part, and is always appreciated is Mrs. McDonald. She is our navigator for three months and she always makes sure everything gets to the correct location.
Last I would like to thank all who visited our Bazaar or made a donation. Again, without folks like you who care enough to be a participant in this event, we would not be so successful.
Thank you, Mike and Joni O'Neill
Please come to a benefit concert for the Ritchey family on Saturday, Dec. 5th at 7pm in the school gym. Mac Arnold will be performing "A Not So Silent Night" to help raise money for the family. Tickets are $5.00 or a donation.

Update on H1N1/Seasonal Flu:
We have had many students out of school sick in the last few weeks, as have many local schools. Please remember that this is flu season and you should keep your child home from school if they are sick.
If your child has any of the following symptoms: high fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, and/or diarrhea, please consult your doctor. If your child has a medical condition (i.e. asthma, diabetes, etc.) or is under 5 years old, you should also consult your doctor. Please make sure your child is free of fever for at least 24 hours before sending them back to school.
There is no reason to panic. If you are in doubt about your child's condition, you should see your doctor, as you normally would. We are using hand sanitizers and reminding students to cover their coughs at school. These are also things you can do at home.
Have further questions about H1N1 or the flu? Visit the CDC site at:

On a happier note, Quinten Nelson placed 1st in Yamaha Sportsman and 3rd in HPV Junior Sportsman in this weekend’s OVKA kart race season finale. This earned Quinten overall 2nd place and 5th place respectively for the season championship. Quinten next travels to Charlotte, North Carolina, at Lowes Motor Speedway, for the last World Karting Association National race of the year. Keep up the great work Quinten!

In a few weeks the parish will begin our Generations Stewardship Campaign. One of the primary goals of the Generations process is to positively touch each and every member of our parish. To help us accomplish, we need volunteers on November 1, 2009 from 1pm to 6pm to help us by calling the homes of registered families within the St. Francis community who have not returned their pledge cards for Time, Talent and Treasure. Rest assured this is not intended to be a hard-sell phone call. Calls will be made from a local phone bank we have secured and training will be provided beforehand which includes a phone script to guide each caller through the phone call. Volunteer sign up sheets will be available at the table at the back of church this weekend or call the parish office at 345-9874 ext 200 to register. Please sign up today! Those of you who have already signed-up need not sign again. Volunteering for the campaign does count toward the revenue generating volunteer hours.
Thank you!

Hi there!
There still seems to be some confusion over what “counts” for volunteer hours and what doesn’t. Think of it this way:
If you:
• Donate money or an item
• Work a table/booth/etc.
• Solicit corporate donations
• Create something (i.e. cookies, quilts, etc.)
for the Bazaar, Festival, or Mother-Daughter Tea – all hours will count toward cost reducing/revenue generating hours. Have the chair of the event sign off on your volunteer hours sheet.
If you spend any hours working or attending meetings for any of the following:
• Market Day
• Parish Maintenance Projects
• Parish Maintenance Committee
• Box Tops/Soup Label Counters
• Spirit Wear
• Classroom volunteering
• Generations Campaign
• Book Fair
• Parish Finance Council
• Cafeteria
All of the above hours will count toward cost reducing/revenue generating hours. Have the chair of the event sign off on your volunteer hours sheet.
If it is not an event listed above, it will only count for general volunteer hours.
I hope this helps to make things more clear. Thank you for all you do for St. Francis and please know that we cannot do this without you! You help to make our school great!
Have a nice weekend.
Dr. Spain

A message from the Accounting Office:It has come to our attention that there was misinformation regarding the used uniform sale and volunteer hours. Some families were erroneously promised volunteer hours in exchange for their uniforms. The used uniform sale is provided solely as a service to our families and the school does not generate any revenue from this event. The school does keep any unclaimed uniform after the sale for the uniform closet for needy families.
In the future, the used uniform sales will only offer a cash back option for uniforms that are sold. Unsold uniforms that are not claimed at the close of the sale will become property of St. Francis de Sales school and will be donated to the used uniform closet for needy families. For this year, if a family was promised volunteer hours in exchange for their uniforms and that promise can be validated through the volunteer hour form documentation procedure, we will honor those hours as general volunteer hours.
If you have any questions regarding this decision, please contact the accounting office at 345-9874 x 235. Thank you.

7-8th Dress Up Day Clarification:
Students in the 7-8th grades may dress up on the day of their game. If the game falls on a weekend, they may dress up the day before.
Students who wish to dress up for athletic events must follow the policy on page 37 of the student handbook. Boys will be dressed up in shirts & ties and girls will be nicely "dressed up" to match the boys. This may include skirts and/or dress pants. We have had several instances this week of students dressing like this is another casual day. It is not a casual day. If students do not appropriately dress up, per the policy, we will discontinue the Athletic Dress Up day. Thank you.

Just a few reminders about pick up & drop off:
* Please do not drop your child off or pick up on Granville Street. Please use Pearl Street for both. It is safer for the children.
* Please pull all the way up on Pearl Street to drop off and/or pick up. Don't stop at the gate because it backs traffic up too far onto Granville.
* Please do not drive around other cars letting children out. This is very dangerous.
* We know you want to help your child out of the car, but please do so quickly and efficiently, so you do not hold up traffic behind you.
* Please also remember there is a posted "No Left Turn" sign from Pearl St. onto Granville St. Police have been known to ticket...
If you have any questions, please call the office. We're here to help! :)

Thank you to everyone who came to the Spaghetti Dinner last Saturday! We had about 200 people come and enjoy a welcome back meal after Mass. A special thank you to everyone who volunteered and donated food. We couldn't have done it without you and it was a great event to "kick off" school this year.
Volunteer tracking sheets are here! Please note that all volunteer hours must now be "signed off" by the event or committee chair. All hours earned from March-August of 2009 can be used toward this year's count.

Earn to Learn Flier
Apples for Students Flier
We had about 200 people come to last night's New Parent Orientation! It was a great turnout and I think everyone had a good time. Thank you Ambassador families for coming and making our new families feel welcome. Thank you also to everyone who brought food and helped to set up & tear down. :)
