February 2014

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Wow!!  What a January we had.  I sure hope that the groundhog does the right thing this weekend; I am really tired of this weather. 

We had a wonderful Catholic Schools Week even with the snow days off.  Thank you to Home and School for the ice cream for the students.  Thank you to Notre Dame for the t-shirts and cookies for the 5^th-8^th graders.  Thank you to all for the participation in the donations to the Community Kitchen and LeBonheur Children's Hospital; we will give you the amounts collected as soon as we get it.  Congratulations to Emily Roach for winning the Spelling Bee.  Congratulations to the Teachers for winning the basketball game, and congratulations to the 8^th grade for being such good and fun sports. 

On February 7^th & 8^th we will be hosting Family Honor.  This is a great interactive program for parents and 8^th grade students focusing on important issues that teenagers are faced with.  Call Mrs. Patti Morrison or Mrs. Mary Pat Haywood for more information, if you need it. 

ChattiGras is February 15^th at the Convention Center.  I encourage all to attend.  It is a wonderful time and all the proceeds go to the three Catholic Schools and student scholarships.  Call Mrs. Cissy West for more information, if you need it.  I hope to see you all there.

School will be closed on the 17^th in honor of Presidents' Day, and the 19^th is $1.00 out of uniform day.  Notre Dame will be testing the 8^th graders on the 22^nd.  And last, but not least, basketball games are scheduled all through February.

Hopefully, we will not have any more weather that warrants us to call off school.  However, if we do, we will try our best to make the right decisions at the right time. 

Have a wonderful February,

Jeri McInturff
