HOME AND SCHOOL NEWS Greetings from Home and School! Hope the 2012-2013 school year has started out well for each of you. We had a great turnout for the FreshmanSophomore tailgate. Special thanks to all who volunteered their time and brought food to share. The weather cooperated and everyone enjoyed connecting or re-connecting with friends. A couple of items of note: We have two sign ups (see links below) for Monthly Teacher Treats and for First Friday Adoration. The dates have all been plugged in, we just need you to log on and volunteer for the dates when you can send in treats for our teachers or when you can spend some time in our chapel during First Friday Adoration. When you sign up, the site will send you an automatic reminder about a week before you have volunteered. This can be exported to your calendars in Outlook or iCal. If you are volunteering for Monthly Teacher Treats, please place in the notes area what you are volunteering to bring so we can make certain we have a variety of items. Thank you for volunteering to help out and for the service to our school, faculty and administration! Click here to sign up to help with Monthly Teacher Treats Click here to sign up to help with First Friday Adoration Our first Home and School meeting of the year will be Wednesday, Sept 12th at 8:00. We hope as many of you who are interested in getting involved will join us. We will do our best to complete the meeting within an hour so we can get on with our work day. Lastly, if you haven’t already joined our Home and School Association and paid your dues, there is still time. You can print the form from the sbaeagles.org website and send in with your student to the office. Remember that we do not fundraise so our dues are the only way we have to help cover the many events that Home and School sponsors.
