    ST. MARY CATHOLIC SCHOOLROCKET REVIEW / MARCH 26, 2014 / VOLUME 1, NO. 25There is quite a bit of important and time-sensitive information today, so we

    chose to put it in paper format this week. Please remember to check theRocket online weekly.

    Elections will be held at the end of April for three vacancies, two year terms, on theAdvisory Committee. This group is made up of school parents and parishioners who

    meet monthly with the school Administrator to discuss issues including fundraising and

    promoting the school. If you are interested please submit a short bio to the school

    officeor email to [email protected] by April 11th.Open House is tomorrow, Thursday, March 27 from 5:30-7PM. A pasta dinner will be

    served (no charge) to anyone attending, activities for children will be available, the tech lab

    will be open (with Tech Club demonstrating!) and teachers will be available to answer any

    questions you have. There is a sign-up on the front page of the website to bring desserts

    (for 1 service hour credit).

    Bring a new family to Open House and you will receive $100 off your tuition

    for 2014-2015 ($200 maximum)

    Since were talking about thewebsite - remember that ALL of our information is housed

    there. We have Scrip, Rocket Reviews, sign-ups, School Calendar, Twitter updates,

    Morning Prayer videos, important updates, and MORE! Please check it often so

    5 service hours next year AND your registration fee waived. Return it by May 1 to receive acredit for 5 service hours.

    Lastly, we have sent home financial aid packets with the oldest student in each family. These

    forms are CONFIDENTIAL and are only seen by the Archdiocese. Financial aid can help

    you AND it helps the school. Many of our programs (including Title I) are determined by

    how many of our students receive some sort of tuition assistance. The assistance is there,

    you just need to apply! You can also fill out an application online and submit it directly to

    the AoD. These applications are due by April 15, 2014 for the 2014-2015 school year.

    PTO - Pennies for Playground News THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

    After an exciting week, the St. Mary PTO would like to send out an enormous thank-you to all of the students, parents, teachers & staff for such a great response to ourPayback the Loan spring campaign. In just one week we raised $1,476.79, and thisalong with the other money we have been earning, is now enough to pay back our loan!

    We would also like to thank the teachers for their flexibility and allowing us to (quietly)enter your class to retrieve the container daily. We certainly appreciate all of you, andwhat you do for our children of St. Mary School.

    Congratulations to Mrs. OConnells 3rdgrade classroom who won the pizza party thatwill be sponsored by the PTO.

    However, everyone is a winner because the PTO promised the entire school a specialtreat if we reached our goal, which we did. Sometime in the next week, everyone will

    enjoy a goodie during their lunch hour.

    I would personally like to say THANK YOU to the coin counters that volunteered:Jenny Marcon, Angela Puente & Sequoya Szczechowski. We could not have had asuccessful week without your assistance.

    Dont forget, we are still collecting cans & bottles outside of school until the end of theschool year. We hope to raise enough funds to purchase a trash receptacle & bench forthe playground, so continue to bring in those returnables and let us take care of themfor you.

    Cindy Majlinger, St. Mary PTO Treasurer

    continue through the end of the school year. If you have any questions, please email

    PTO Secretary, Maureen Brinker, at [email protected]. Thank you for your

    continued cooperation.
