Thank you.

Dinner-Dance Volunteers Needed for Decorating and Clean-up

Volunteers are needed for setup and decorating before, as well as clean-up after, for the 8th Grade Dinner-Dance on Friday May 28.

The decorating committee will meet on Friday May 28, starting at 1:00 p.m. in the School Hall and is expecting to work until 5:00 p.m., but hopefully earlier with enough helpers. If you can assist, the committee kindly requests that you bring your own scissors and tape with you.

Clean-up volunteers are also needed after the dance. Remember that the more that can help out, the quicker it will get done.

If you are able to volunteer, please e-mail Peggy Delaplane at delaplanefamily@aol.com.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

Baby Pictures Needed - Due Monday May 17!

Another tradition during 8th grade year, is to post the graduates "baby" pictures in the gym lobby. The students, faculty, staff and parents can then have some fun guessing who is who and see how everyone has changed over the years.

The "baby age" is up to you, however, infant and toddler ages are typically chosen.

Please send one (1) baby picture to the attention of Tracy O'Brien, via Kelly O'Brien, on Monday May 17. Remember to write the child's name on the back of the picture and to put it in a sealed envelope so that the other students are not sneaking a peak before they are posted in the lobby.

Concept One - Videotaping Survey Update

Thank you to everyone who responded to Marita Blanken regarding your interest in a professional video taping of the Cap and Gown Mass and Graduation Mass. Based on your replies, SJS was able to meet Concept One's minimum order and therefore, both events will be videotaped.

The prices are as follows:

$35 - Both the Graduation and Tuesday Cap and Gown Mass
$22 - Graduation Mass Only
$22 - Tuesday Cap and Gown Mass Only

Marita has the list of families who showed their interest in these videos, and if you are one of these families, your orders and payment can be forwarded on to her through the school office. A paper copy of the order form can be found in this week's paper Messenger. (Also, when available, a link to the order form will also be posted on this Blog.)

Please remember that orders are open to everyone, and not just to those who replied to Marita's survey.
