Our hearts go out to the Wise family tonight. The staff has met this evening and we want to assure our families that we have taken steps to support the students during this difficult time. Fr. Bob and I will be visiting the classrooms in the morning to talk to the children and answer questions they may have. The teachers are prepared to do the same. We will have counselors available during the day if any student or parent feels the need to talk further. Our goal is to listen to the students, empathize with what they are feeling, and help them to move forward in the 'safe routine' of their school day.
We will be posting additional resources for families that may need more assistance in the coming days. More information will be sent home tomorrow.

Thanks! -Mrs. Rodenberger

We hope you had a chance to read our first issue of The Weekly Word last Thursday. We will continue to send it home on Thursdays to keep families informed. We will also post it here on the Scoop. If your family regularly checks the Scoop and would like to 'Go Green,' please drop us a note and we can refrain from sending you the paper copy. If you or someone you know needs prayer for a specific reason please call Linda in the school office and we would be happy to add your request to the 'Prayer' section.

IMPORTANT: It has come to our attention that J. C. Penney has posted our school shirt colors as white, yellow, and blue. THIS IS INCORRECT! We no longer use yellow shirts. Students in all grades may wear white or light blue.
Please remember the "Earning for Learning" program at Indian Mound Mall. When you turn in your receipts at the mall office our school gets credit! Last year we received a cash reward from the mall!
By now you should have received a letter detailing important information for the start of the new school year. If you did not receive the letter, please call the school office.
