Volunteer Hour Update Reports
Dear St. Francis Families and Supporters,
Each quarter, we like to send an update to our families to let them know where they are with their volunteer hours. The update that was expected to go home with report cards next week will be delayed.
As some of you may know, one person serves as the Volunteer Hour Coordinator and keeps track of all of the hours that are submitted to us from each organization, function and activity. Michelle Burd has served in this role for the last 3 years and has been a huge help to me by keeping track of these hours and logging them into a database.
Michelle approached me yesterday and asked that I make everyone aware that her family is currently faced with a medical trial and because of that, she will not be able to provide the report to me in time to generate letters home that show the number of hours to date. Michelle has indicated that she will have the remaining hours logged and ready to email to me by the end of November. As soon as we are able to issue a letter home, we will do so. Michelle and I do ask for your patience as we work toward completing the data entry process so that you can have an updated tally of hours served.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact me at 345-9874 ext 235 or via email to amccracken@stfrancisparish.net. Michelle can be reached at michelle_rburd@yahoo.com
Thank you for understanding and have a blessed weekend.

BOX TOP & LABELS FOR EDUCATION
Hope everyone is clipping and saving box tops and labels for education. Please don’t forget to send them in with your child by Oct 26th.
Also, we have a chance to earn an extra 100 Bonus Points from Labels for Education. All you have to do is send in the barcodes off the following magazines you have purchased from the store! Easy points! The qualifying magazines are: People, Real Simple, Time, All You, Cooking Light, Southern Living, and Health. When you clip these barcodes, if you can somehow write the name of the magazine, maybe on the back of the label, that would help me know if they qualify. Thank you for supporting our school and if you have any questions please feel free to email me at kvolleyball8@yahoo.com or contact me on my cell at 740-334-9310.

The rain today did not dampen the spirits of our students, staff and guests as we watched orange balloons fly off into the distance! Our celebration of Michael's life and joy was truly wonderful. There are not enough ways to say 'thank you' to ALL the people involved in getting 'Michael's Playground' completed, whether it be by contributing their time, their talent, or their treasure! An especially big THANK YOU to Maura Urban and her committee! God certainly did rain down His blessings on us today!!
And to close out Catholic Schools Week, we look forward to our Walk for Education tomorrow. Students who earned a T-shirt received them today. We will be double checking our records tonight. If you believe that your child should have received a T-shirt but did not, please send a note to the office in the morning. We did order some extras to be safe.
Due to the generosity of some anonymous donors, EVERY child will receive a WE water bottle! We have also received a few extra prizes, so the names of students who did get at least one pledge will go into a drawing for those. Students can still bring pledges in tomorrow. We also have lots of door prizes!
If you need a copy of your child's pledge sheet please let us now. We will determine our top fundraising winners after all the pledges and donations have been received. Also, those students who earned a free casual day pass will receive that next week.

REMINDER: Tomorrow is an All School Liturgy at 9:00am, followed by the blessing and dedication of Michael's Playground.
Students may dress casually. Each student should bring a beach towel to sit on outside. Weather permitting, we will have a picnic lunch from 10:45 - 11:45am.
Continuing our celebration of Catholic Schools Week, we will have our Walk for Education on Friday. Volunteers should check in at the table near the gym on Friday morning. A letter was sent home yesterday to those who volunteered (ask your child!). It was also posted on the Scoop today. Please remember that the Diocese of Columbus requires all volunteers to attend a Protecting God's Children workshop and to have a background check (BCI) done. We must have a copy of both forms on file in the school office along with a volunteer information form. Please call Linda in the main office if you have further questions.
