9-15-17 Newsletter

In today's newsletter: Constitution Day, NWEA testing, All-School Mass, Jean Day, new Middle School teacher.

On Monday, Judge Geoffrey Neithercut will join us to speak to the students about the importance of Constitution Day, which commemorates the formation and signing of the U.S. Constitution. That document recognizes that all who are born in the U.S. or  are naturalized, have become citizens. We thank Judge Neithercut for his continued dedication to our students!

NWEA testing begins this week for grades three, four, five, and six.  Please be sure the students are well-rested (and healthy!) for the next three or four weeks so they can give the best that is in them when it is their turn to test.
 
Please join us on Thursday at 10:30 for our All-School Mass led by the sixth grade.

Friday is our first Jean Day.  Students may wear jeans with shirts that are appropriate for school.  If you have any questions about what is appropriate, please check the dress code that was sent home to every family.  It can also be viewed on our website under 'Information.'

We still are looking for people to help with recess and lunchroom supervision.  Please call the office and let us know what day or days you could volunteer to come in and help your children.  Thank you!

We are so grateful to former SJV teacher, Mrs. Sharon Cuttitta, for filling our need of a teacher of Science and Math classes for our Middle School students!  Mrs. Cuttitta has been a valued part of our SJV family for many years, and (though retired) offered to fill-in until a permanent teacher was found.  She got the classroom set up, organized the students, and has paved the way for Mr. Bob Milne, also an experienced teacher, who will join our staff by the end of this month.   Mr. Milne and his wife are parishioners of SJV, and their children attended school here.  We are grateful that God led these two wonderful teachers to us!

And we are grateful to you, our families, for sharing your wonderful students with us.

God bless everyone!

Mrs. Warner

Dear Families,

The students have been so  busy not only with their studies, but also preparing for their sporting events!  The football teams played their first game this weekend, and the girls basketball teams begin playing next week.  Go Vikings!

The students can practice, but cannot play any games, until a current physical is on-file in the school office.  Physicals are good for one year.  You can schedule an appointment with your own physician, or drop-in to an urgent care clinic for a sports physical (usually for a $25-$30 fee).  Make some calls and see what will work so your athlete can be on the field/floor with their team.  It is also necessary that the $30 pay-to-play fee is paid before students are allowed to play in games.  Thank you to all who have already taken care of these details!

Information about school pictures was sent home on Friday, and they will be taken on Wednesday, September 13th.   Please be sure to return the envelope with your package choice clearly marked.  It is a dress-up day, meaning Sunday best and appropriate for school clothing.  If they prefer, students may also wear dress code.  Remember that they will still be going outside for recess, and grades 1, 3, and 7 have gym class that morning.  Students can bring dress code attire to change into if they'd like.  All students will have their photo taken for school records, whether or not you choose to purchase a package.
 
Also sent home Friday was an ICHAT form, necessary for us to keep on file for anyone who will be volunteering at school this year.  Please return it by September 15th.  Thanks to those of you who have returned all of the forms sent home the first week of school -- all of that information is necessary for us to keep accurate records for your children.

The Holy Redeemer Council of Catholic Women and Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a Spaghetti Dinner to benefit their High School Scholarship Fund on Thursday, September 14th, from 4-7pm, at the Family Life Center.  Call 810-938-7019 for more information.

Come and cheer for the Vikings Football Team 'under the lights' at 7:30 pm next Saturday (9/16) at Holy Redeemer.  It is a great family outing, and you will be supporting our SJV students!

God's Blessings to all, especially those in the path of Hurricane Erma,
Mrs. Warner
