Friday January 24th is Family Bingo. This is a free event, but you must RSVP by TOMORROW so we know how many people to plan for. There will be pizza to purchase but please pre-order so we have enough. Find the info here! We are still looking for some volunteers as well!

We have a sweet fundraiser starting today. You can purchase individual bundtlets ($7) or full 8" bundt cakes ($30)! Orders are due Wednesday Jan 29th. Sell to your family, friends, and coworkers for extra financial commitment. Find the order form here!

Friday is Pretzel Day, so no need to send a snack if you pre-ordered pretzels!

This weekend we are celebrating the kick-off of Catholic Schools Week at all of our Masses at Saint Ann Church. The PTA is purchasing donuts to be handed out after all masses. We will be selling Super Raffle tickets as well. We need LOTS of help with ticket selling and donut distribution. Students should also attend in their school uniform and will receive a Dress Down pass to use on February 10th. Please sign up to help here!

Thursday Jan 30th is Student Appreciation Day and the PTA will be sponsoring an Ice Cream Social for all students at lunch. This is free for the students and we will have an allergy friendly option. If your child has any dairy, nut, or other allergies, please have them ask for the allergy friendly option! Sign up to volunteer here!

We only have about 1 month left to sell Super Raffle tickets! Tickets are $10 each and you can win one of 3-Visa Gift Cards: $2,500, $1,500, or $500. We need to sell 2,000 tickets, so please take books home to sell to your family, friends, and coworkers. Find all of the info here!

Our 8th Annual Read-a-Thon is currently underway. You should have received an email from 99Pledges to set up your student’s donation page. This year, instead of recording minutes read online, we are providing a Reading Log sheet. Students should read for at least 20 minutes per day. For each day they read, they can write the number of minutes they read and color the book in for each day they read at least 20 minutes. The Reading Logs should be turned in weekly on Thursdays--first one is due tomorrow! We will be keeping a tally for the minutes each class reads in the cafeteria weekly. The class who reads the most minutes (per capita) will earn a Donut Party! If you need a copy of the weekly log, it is attached below. Find the details here!

We had a wonderful Christmas season with a very successful Santa's Workshop, Breakfast with Santa, and HomeFront Christmas Party. St. Nick paid a special visit to the school and the entire school was able to visit the movies together to see The Polar Express. The PTA wants to thank everyone who helped with volunteering for these events and for all of the fundraising you did to make these things possible. 

Dress Down Week: $1,330

Pie Sale: $537

Swag Sale: $787

Charleston Wrap: $1,103

1. Please save the date for our Gala/Silent Auction on Saturday March 1st. Formal Invitations will be sent home soon. If you would like to help solicit donations for auction items, please respond to this email. 

2. We have decided to change our vendor for our Chocolate Fundraiser this year. We will not be using Gertrude Hawk this year. We will be using World’s Finest Chocolate, which is a slightly different program. More info will come out closer to that time, but we wanted you to know about this change ahead of time. 

3. Please plan to attend our General PTA meeting on Wednesday March 19th. We will be hosting our Guest Speaker, Paul Sanfrancesco, and we want to give a good showing. His previous presentations for us have been incredible and we not this one will not disappoint.
