Second Quarter
The second quarter ends on
Wednesday, December 21st. Report
cards will go home on Friday, January 6th.
Lunch Menu’s
Parents it is very
important that Mrs. Hahn gets the lunch Pick and Choose papers back on Mondays,
so she may get the lunch count for the week recorded and those who get seconds
recorded accurately.
Coke Rewards
In your Friday folder you
will find a flyer regarding the Coke Rewards for Schools program.
SJB is registered to start receiving rewards.
This program works similar to the Campbells Soup and Box Top programs.
Inside the soda boxes or under the bottle cap is a code that can be
entered online to award points to our school.
These points can be redeemed for things such as P.E. equipment, classroom
supplies, etc. Please start saving
these codes over the holidays. You
may register and enter them yourself online at www.mycokerewards.com/schools
or just send them to school and we will enter them for you.
These codes can be found on all Coke products (Diet Coke, Sprite, Pibb,
etc.). Thank you for participating!
BRRRRRR….
The weather outside has
definitely changed and it is COLD! We
will go outside for recess unless the temperatures dip below 30.
We have called numerous schools inquiring as to their policies and many
are very similar to ours. Please be assured we monitor wind chill, precipitation,
etc…before going outside. We feel
it is necessary for the students to get out for some fresh air and “running”
whenever possible. Please make sure your child(ren) have coats and gloves,
etc… to play outside.
Football Mania
Last week in your
envelopes you found the Super Bowl Mania Tickets.
They are $5.00 each and we make $3.50.
IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SELL/BUY THESE, PLEASE SEND THEM BACK.
We had to pay for them and maybe someone will be able to sell them.
Chess Club
Chess Club will not meet
again until Monday, Jan.9th.
Science Fair
The Science Fair is early
this year. It will be held during
Catholic Schools Week. The science
boards are in and are $3.00.
Distinguished Graduate
Nominations are being
accepted for the St. John the Baptist Distinguished Graduate Award.
If you nominated an individual last year, they are still eligible; you
may provide more information about them. All
nominations are due before Dec. 21st; send info to the school office,
Atten: Ms. Hill.
Internet/Website
We have a new website.
