ST. CLARE TOWN HALL MEETING

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who attended last week’s Town Hall Meeting.  All in all it went very well.  I think we were able to show the big picture of the successes and needs of our school.  I would like to remind you that all of the PowerPoint presentations can be found on our website, http://www.stclarepdx.org/.  The State of the School PowerPoint can be found under “Principal’s Corner”, the School Advisory Council’s PowerPoint on finances can be found under “Boards and Committees” on the SAC page and the Parent Teacher Council PowerPoint can be located under “Boards and Committees” on the PTC page. 

We now move on to our Open House scheduled today at 9:00 a.m. and tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m.  Please remember that the best way to market St. Clare School is through you.  Tell your friends, family, neighbors and the people on the street about our school.  Let them know why you choose St. Clare for your children and tell them about your positive experiences and the caring community that they will experience once they enter our doors. 

Currently, (05-06) we have openings in grades K, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7.  With your help we will be able to reach our goal this year of 228, and maybe even reach full capacity! 

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

Catholic Schools' Week is a celebration of the gift of St. Clare School and all Catholic education.  We spend each day of the week celebrating the benefits of a faith-based education.  This year's theme is “Character, Compassion, Values.”   Please review the events for the week.

Monday, January 30th:   We will begin the school day with an all school assembly in the gym in family groups.  Sr. Moe and the Student Council will kick off the week with a Catholic Schools' Week Presentation.  Students will begin special service activities today in the surrounding community.

Tuesday, January 31st:  There will be special activities today selected by Student Council.  Children will also be affirming each other in a positive way through special notes and acts of kindness.

Wednesday, February 1st:  Students will write short prayers for our nation making a paper chain with all class chains joined together to hang in our hallway.  Information will also be available to write to a U.S. serviceperson in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Thursday, February 2nd:  There will be an all-school liturgy at 8:30 a.m.  One student from each class will share a story from the Monday student outreach service projects.  Stand Out and Shine Awards will be handed out and Sr. Moe, Sr. Dolores and Fr. Tom will be invited to share about their vocations.

Friday, February 3rd:  We will celebrate volunteers of the school with a morning coffee hosted by Sr. Moe. 

TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY,

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3RD

Parents and students, since Friday, Feb. 3 is Teacher Appreciation Day,  I invite everyone to let your child's teacher know how they are appreciated with a little note from you, your family or your student.  Notes can be handed to your teacher that Friday morning.  I know they will be the hit of the week!
