CATHOLIC SCHOOL NEWS


Please register your children now for the 2003-2004 school year. There are several classes that are reaching maximum enrollment, so call the school and inquire about the application process. We encourage everyone to come, visit and enroll your child/children.

Many thanks to the community for your support of the Campbell Soup labels, General Mills Coupons for Education, Kemps Tops, and Target. So far this year we have received $348 from General Mills. We have to send the coupons in again by March 1 so please bring in any you have. We have ordered playground sports balls with the Campbell Soup labels. Target has sent us $503 so please continue to use your Target Charge Card with us as the recipient of their education dollars. We are still collecting Kemps Milk lids and coupons. This all helps the school.

                                  WE THANK YOU!
