The mission of Holy Spirit School is to
provide an education strongly rooted in
Catholic values, reflecting each student’s
unique qualities and promoting
excellence in the whole person.
Dear Friends,
October 17 is the feast is the memorial of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Bishop and Martyr. St. Ignatius was a follower of St. John and protected his flock from persecution with prayer and fasting. As we begin the second quarter, let us pray for our school community that Christ be with each one of us. Let us remember those tragically affected by Hurricane Mi-chael and pray for those that died for the survivors healing and recovery. God bless you all. I look forward to seeing all of you on Friday night at the Spaghetti Dinner!

Dear Parents,
Monday October 22rd marks the start of Red Ribbon Week. This is an exciting week
for students as they do creative activities to promote the end of bullying, drug use,
and bring awareness to the destruction of drugs and other substances. I have creat-
ed a breakdown of Red Ribbon Week and the daily activities! I am so excited for this
week and I hope the kids are too!
Monday, October 22rd
This day will consist of taking the Drug Free Oath and signing the Drug Free Banner.
The banner is the guidance office door. Children will sign my door as they pledge to
be drug free. Ribbons will be passed out to the students to kick off Red Ribbon Week!
Tuesday, October 23th
On this day everyone is encouraged to wear red as a commitment to raise awareness
of the killing and destruction caused by drugs. Students are encouraged to wear red
polos on this day.
Wednesday, October 24th
It’s tourist day! To match this year’s national theme “Life’s Your Journey. Travel Drug
Free.” Today is a day to pull out your best tourist gear for this out of uniform day.
Please check the student handbook dress code for any questions. If you do not have
any tourist gear please send your students to school in uniform.
Thursday, October 25th
Let’s “Sock it to Drugs”! It’s crazy sock day for both students and teachers! This also
allows us to “mix things up” and make new friends! Challenge your kids to sit with
someone new at lunch or get to know someone in their class they may not know as
well! Due to 7:30 mass, 5th and 6th grade are asked to bring their socks to school to
change into after mass.
Friday, October 26th
To wrap up Red Ribbon Week, Officer Boomer will be coming to talk to the kids! I will
be giving homeroom teachers anti-bullying arm bands to pass out to the students.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email me. I hope your child has
fun next week bringing awareness to this great cause!

The Box Top competition for the Fall is almost over. Mrs. Stout jumped into the contest with almost twice as
many boxtops as our 2nd place class!! So far this Fall we have earned $216. 70 for our school. I bet we can
double that before the end of the Fall contest. Here are the class standings to date:
#1 - Stout - 403 #2 - Robison - 221 #3 - Wright - 218 #4 - Mann - 206 #5 - Dellorso - 194 #6 - Oldham - 185 #7 - Naseman - 166 #8 - Rist - 112
#9 - Caruso - 109 #10 - Fletcher - 75 #11 - Caraway - 63 #12 - Manush - 61 #13 - Knowling - 55 #14 - Dunn - 51 #15 - Jackson - 34 #16 - McQuinn - 14
Keep sending in those box tops. Remember to put them in a bag or envelope with your student's home-room teacher's name on it. The final box top deadline for the Fall contest is October 24th, and the reward party (cupcakes or ice cream sundaes) for the class with the most box tops turned in during the fall contest will be November 6th. Good luck and get clipping!
