Scary Movie Night has now become Christmas Movie Night set for Saturday, Dec. 1st in Fitzgerald Hall in the lower level of the church. Details to follow.
A big thank you to Katy McLeod for the wonderful job she did running this years Annual 8th Grade Pumpkin Sale. Everything went off without a hitch . . . accept for the 45 pumpkins she had to hall back to her home because families forgot to pick them up. But she handled it beautifully and with Meg Davis' help contacted all the families to remind them to come get their goodies. And thanks as well to Mary Przybyl for providing donuts for the busy volunteers. Another great team effort and successful fundraiser for the Class of 2008!
Till Next Week

Apology
Hi everyone,
This email does not come to you from the Fab Four, but from Kelly Aguayo . . . the author of yesterdays email regarding last minute help for decorating the gym. I just wanted to say that I am truly sorry if I upset anyone with that email! I read through and edited the text several times hoping to word it in a way that was quick and yet concise.
I should know better than to use capital letters but I just wasn't thinking. The only reason I capitalized the word "tonight" was because I know how I am when I read emails and I inherently mess up my dates. So that wasn't done because I was upset, but because I can personally be an airhead. And nothing was directed toward any specific families, it was just a general plea for assistance.
Please know this was nothing more than an innocent attempt to make the 8th grade girl's volleyball players feel special for their last game as Crusaders on their home floor. We have a wonderful class, great parents and had an awesome turnout of fan support at both games. The last thing I wanted to do was seem ungrateful for any of that.
My Sincere Apologies, Kelly Aguayo

Please read immediately
The current count is (1) student and (1) parent to decorate the gym for the 8th Grade Girls final volleyball game TONIGHT. The game isn't until 8pm, but the gym needs to be decorated before the earlier games begin. If anyone gets this email and could run over to school between 4:30pm and 5:30pm, even if it's just for part of the time, maybe on your way home from the train or work, I'm sure the volleyball teams would really appreciate it!
If you and/or your student can make it just reply to this email tell us who'll be there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Final Volleyball games, Pumpkin Sale & Thanks
This weekend marks the final home Volleyball Games for our 8th grade girls!
Girls "A" Team - Friday, Oct. 19th @ 8pm
Girls "B" Team - Saturday, Oct. 20th @ 4pm
We'd love to see a great turnout at both games to support our girls one last time on their home floor.
With that in mind we have a last minute request looking for Parent and Student volunteers to help decoate the gym for both games. The girls did a great job making a hoop, etc. for the boys football team at Homecoming, so here's the chance for the boys to return the favor.
The hope is to make a sign or volleyball with each girls name and number to hang in the gym, then add some streamsers and balloons. The bulk of the decorating will take place on Friday night with a refreshing of balloons, etc. on Saturday afternoon.
So we are looking for volunteers to:
- Make signs
- Purchase streamers
- Purchase balloons
(receipts can be submitted to Maribeth Ruf c/o Jacqueline Rm. 7)
- Decorate Friday from 4:30 - 5:30pm
- Decorate Saturday from 2:30 - 3:30pm
Please email Kelly Aguayo aguayodg@sbcglobal.net if you are able to help in any way. If you have any additional ideas for decorating we'd love the help!
One last Pumpkin Sale Pick Up reminder for all those who volunteered to help this Saturday, October 20th.
Katy McLeod is still looking (1) parent to help her for each of the following shifts:

A BIG THANK YOU FOR ALL WHO HELPED MAKE THE SPIRIT WEAR FUNDRAISER SUCH A GREAT SUCCESS!!!
From the 20+ students and parents who helped model and sell the Spirit Wear at Meet and Greet, as well as Homecoming weekend. And for the die hard students and parents that stayed as late as 11:30pm last Wednesday sorting nearly 200 orders so they could be delivered to the families in record time!
We also need to thank the Pinelli family at P&S Signs & Apparel for helping to create the designs and deliver such an awesome selection of products that were top quality too.
But the biggest thank you goes out to our Class of 2008 Treasurer Maribeth Ruf for working since June on choosing product, selling the items and the biggest job . . . inputting, inventorying and reconciling the nearly 200 orders while handling the money too! It was a huge job and she did it to perfection!
Way to go Class of 2008!
