Dear St. Mary School Families,

ST. MARY CATHOLIC SCHOOL FOLLOWS NEW HANOVER COUNTY SCHOOL DECISIONS ON WEATHER CLOSINGS AND DELAYS!!!
(Parent/Student Handbook, p.14)

This weekend has brought us news of a very dangerous storm heading our way. I hope and pray that it turns back out to sea before doing any damage. It was last year at this time when we came together as a Catholic school family to help a Catholic school along the coast in Texas. They had to close for several months due to hurricane damage. Stay tuned.

Home and School Association (Our version of P.T.A.)
Our new and experienced officers met on Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Watts and me. The purpose of the meeting was to meet, define responsibilities, plan a Friday Fright Night meeting, and share major projects on the table.
I am very pleased to announce the following leaders of your 2018-2019 Home and School Association.
Co-Vice-Presidents – Serena Lau and Derek Macleod
Secretary – Kellie Savard
Treasurer – Emily Allen
Hospitality – Ashley Putney
Gradeparent/Volunteers Chair – Monica Powers
Friday Fright Night Chairs – Lekeshia Jarrett, Lindsay Sanford, and Jeanne Baker

Monica Powers has all of the volunteer sheets that were returned by our families. These were given out on Orientation Evenings. Thanks to all parents who have offered to reach out and help this year. It’s not too late to add your name to the list.

Calling all parent chess players!!!! We are in need of a parent to coordinate our Chess Club. Last year, this group of about 25 students met on Monday afternoons with a coach hired to teach the skills. We would like to have our club compete this year. If you are interested, please contact me.

Harris Teeter Vic Together in Education – 1809…1809…1809
I received a call from corporate headquarters in Charlotte to say that we will be gifted by Harris Teeter since our school has participated for all 20 years of their program. This Friday, one of our local managers will be bearing gifts to St. Mary School! We’ll let you know what we receive next week.
Please register your Vic Card at a register or online to St. Mary School #1809. We usually receive about $700 each year. Let’s top that!
