SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MEMO “SAM”

Everything You Wanted To Know

Week of March 1, 2010

 

Tonight marks the final countdown for our first online auction…have you checked out the great deals!  Log onto http://sjfschool.cmarket.com to place your bet!  The auction closes at 8:59 p.m. on Friday night! 

Tomorrow is the end of the second trimester…this year has sure seemed to fly by!  After our students leave at noon, our teachers will be joining forces with the faculty and staff from Holy Trinity Catholic School.  We will be hearing a presentation from Heidi Hanson, a TAG specialist from the Beaverton School District, on how to continue to differentiate instruction in our classroom to assist all learners. 

On Sunday evening from 3:00-7:00, you won’t want to miss the delicious Spaghetti Dinner!  Presale tickets can be purchased through the office tomorrow.  You can also purchase tickets at the door and don’t forget they offer take-out too!  Thanks to all our volunteers who make this FUNraiser such a great time for all!

On Tuesday we will have our March PTC meeting.  Agenda items for the meeting include the 2010-2011 academic year budget, Jog-A-Thon kick off, Auction 2010 highlights, the introduction of our new Youth Mass at SJF, and recaps from our online auction and Spaghetti Dinner.  We will have light snacks and drinks beginning at 6:00 p.m. and the meeting will begin promptly at 6:30.  Babysitting will be provided by Vermont Hills Family Life.  See you there!

Please see the attachment to this weeks SAM for a summary of the Spanish survey that was sent out in January.  I appreciate all your feedback as we work together to continue to provide our students a well-rounded education.

See you Sunday at the Spaghetti Dinner and on Tuesday at the PTC General Meeting!

AMERICAN HISTORY COMES TO LIFE

The 8th grade would like to invite all students, families, and friends to our production of American History: Words that Marked the Times to be performed on the night of the Social Studies Fair (March 17 @ 6:30).  Essentially, the 8th grade has put together a production based around 13 key American Speeches throughout our nation's history.  Come and hear the famous words of Lincoln, FDR, JFK, and many more.  It will be held in the cafeteria.  If you are in the building already, feel free to drop in at any point during the night.  Stay for a few speeches or catch the entire show.  We are looking forward to seeing you there!

CLASS OF THE MONTH

The Class of the Month project this month is the Sunshine Division.  We are having a canned fruit food drive.  Students should bring canned fruit to their classrooms and the class with the most at the end of the month will receive an ice cream party!  The Sunshine Division is the only 24/7 direct emergency food service provider in Portland, and works in partnership with St. Vincent de Paul.  If you'd like to bring in additional non-perishable food, it's always welcome, but won't count for the contest.  Let's fill up those barrels for families in need in Portland.
