FROM THE PRINCIPAL

On Monday, October 2, we kick-off our Care-a-thon (Marathon). This event is by far the largest fundraiser for St. Pascal Baylon Catholic School. All money raised helps fund educational programs at St. Pascal Baylon Catholic School.

Next week, each student will be bringing home an envelope for donations. Our goal is for each student to raise a minimum of $60.00. Your family may be able to give/raise more than $60.00 or less. The most important thing is for everyone to participate. There will also be an online donation link on the school webpage.

Care-a-thon is a community event, as well as a fundraiser. As students raise money toward our goal, they can earn rewards as we make our way to the goal of $10,000.

The annual Rake-a-thon takes place on Thursday, October 26 OR our rain make up day is Friday, October 27 from 1:00 – 2:30 PM. You are invited and encouraged to come and spend any time you can with us. Information will be sent home next week; along with a signup sheet if you wish to volunteer

NWEA TESTING UPDATE

Over the past few days (September 19 and 20) many schools experienced interruptions while giving the NWEA MAP Growth test. During this issue, we could not log in and manage test sessions. In addition, there were numerous problems trying to stay logged in which resulted in many students getting “kicked out” of a test, so they were unable to finish. Thankfully, some students could complete testing. We apologize for this stressful disruption during testing.

The NWEA testing team of engineers made significant progress in determining the root cause and solution. However, on Wednesday, the company recommended all schools avoid testing on Thursday, September 21. We will resume testing on Monday, September 25. A copy of the revised testing schedule is attached.

PICTURE DAY

Picture day for all students in Preschool – Grade 8 will be Thursday, October 5.

ANY AND ALL INTERESTED BAND STUDENTS

If you are interested in joining band or orchestra, it's not too late! I recommend going straight to the Eckroth store in Roseville (3065 Centre Pointe Dr, Suite #1 Roseville, MN 55113), tell them you're interested in joining band or orchestra at ST. PASCAL'S, and they will be able to do a tryout with you! Eckroth is a great company with fantastic rental options. They will be able to help you out with everything you need!

I hope to see all of you in band or orchestra here at St. Pascal's!

BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

National Box Tops for Education Week starts this Sunday, Sept. 24! To celebrate we are having a contest! For every 4 sheets with 25 Box Tops attached (100 total) the student will get an out of uniform pass. Turn in 4 completed sheets to Miss Andrea in the school office to receive your pass by Friday Sept. 29. Please make sure to check expiration dates on the Box Tops; expired ones are not excepted. Every clip counts!

The School Store is an opportunity for students to replace and supplement their own school supplies, while also preventing a trip to the store by their families. Basic items include pencils, pens, erasers, glue sticks, crayons, markers, and folders. Some fun items like pencil pouches, bracelets, pencil sharpeners, fun erasers, scented markers, or notepads may also be offered. Prices range from 50¢ to $3.00.

The School Store is self-funded. In the past its profits were used to support the monthly “Caught Doing Good” prize drawings, miscellaneous teacher classroom needs/wants, the Summer Reading Program Ice Cream party, all school student treats, and bus costs for end of the year field trips. Each student is also given a certificate to pick out a prize during their birthday month.

The School Store is a great place for students to practice their decision-making skills, as well as using and counting money.

The school takes donations of basic school supplies. Please contact Barb Odhiambo at barb.odhiambo@stpascals.org if you have a donation.
