- The 8th Grade Ski Trip reservation forms and waivers should be coming home in your students backpack today. Included is a trip overview as well as several reservation forms, permission slips and liability waivers. All forms and money need to be returned to Roseanne Musil c/o Greg Musil Rm. 102 by Monday, January 28th.
Please be sure, if your child needs a snowboarding lesson, that you mark that on the reservation and get it in as soon as possible. The snowboard lessons (not the ski lessons) are by advanced reservation only.
You will be happy to see that the final price is considerably less than our worst case estimate, due in part to the great success we've had in fundraising this year. Thanks to all your hard work we were able to pay for most of the transportation cost through the class earnings!
- Tuesday, January 22nd will be the first meeting for the 8th Grade Dinner Dance. The meeting will be at Mary Durkin's home, 7213 Webster Street @ 7:30pm. Anyone interested in helping out is welcome. Those who already signed up in August are Melanie Biederman, Julie Correll, Clare Cortesio, Michelle Drennan, Anne Harris, Lea Krouse, Melanie McGinnis, Katy McLeod, Pat Meier, Colleen Morrison and Saitong Urramporn. We will be setting up committees and discussing initial plans.
- Saturday, Feb. 2nd is Fun Fair and the 8th Grade Cake Walk. We need 6 parents to volunteer one hour each between 10am - 3pm to supervise the students as they run the cake walk for the attendees. Pat Meier and Jeanne Holecek have already volunteered so we only need 4 more volunteers. Please email Katy McLeod at katymcleod@comcast.net or call her at 630-435-9005 if you can help.
We also need everyone to bring a bakery item to school Saturday morning to be used in the cake walk. Please drop off by 11am in the school hall.
- We are looking for parents who can decorate for the final home basketball games next month. If you can believe it they start as early as February 3rd! If we could get two parents from each team to arrive early bringing a couple dozen green and white balloons, some streamers and maybe paper basketballs with each players name and number on it to place on the walls that would be great! And it would mean so much to the athletes!
Please reply to this email with the team and date that you would be willing to help with. Here are the dates:
Boys B1 - Feb. 3rd, 3:30pm
Girls B - Feb. 9th, 9am
Boys A - Feb. 16th, 11am
Boys B2 - Feb. 16th 12pm
Girls A - Feb. 23rd, 10am
We'd also appreciate it if you would all note ALL these dates in your calendars and encourage your students to come and support their classmates at every game . . . and parents are certainly welcome too!
- This is the first of two extensive emails detailing the upcoming events for the start of this second, and very fun-filled, semester. We know this is alot to take in, but we have many wonderful traditions here at St. Joe's and we look forward to sharing these memorable events with your children. And given the scope of field trips, dances, picture days, and more it has been decided to pass on a trip to Springfield this year. Please know this is not a reflection on your students but simply an issue of how to orchestrate an already event-filled year end.
You can look forward to email #2 coming to your inbox next week!
