Christmas Show -“Christmas Snapshots”, Catholic Social Teaching- Survey, Volunteers- Xavier Game, Santa Workshop & New Year’s Eve Benefit Dance

St. Nicholas Academy


December 8, 2010

Dear St. Nicholas Academy Community,

There is much excitement in the air as we prepare for our celebration of Christmas and Jesus is once again born in our lives. Thank you for your wonderful support of our school and your presence here. Together we build the body of Christ for our community.

Students and teachers have worked very hard on our Christmas show, “Christmas Snapshots”.
A hard copy letter about this is being sent home with students today outlining times, dress etc. Please read the letter and return the bottom signed so that we know you got it. I know you will enjoy the show!

Also coming home today is a very short survey about Catholic Social Teaching. We ask that you fill it out and return to school. We will use this information as we continue to formulate our Catholic identity goal for the OCSAA. THANKS.

Friday is a food collection day for those families who have pledged to assist the local food banks in Deer Park, Norwood and Reading. Please send in your donation by Friday and we will make sure food is delivered to the various agencies early next week.

We are need of concession volunteers again for the Xavier game on Saturday December 18th. Volunteers need to be16 years of age and must be able to prove it. If you could help us, or know of others who could, PLEASE contact Paul DiMario at paul@peerlessprinting.com or 631-8353. Paul, Carol Dunham and I will make sure everything is set up so workers will not have to be at Xavier until 5:45 P.M. This really does help our school finances a great deal!

There is a flyer attached today about a fund raiser in honor of Jim Siegel on New Years Eve. For the first 3 years of SNA Jim would visit classrooms on December 6th as St. Nicholas. He has been fighting cancer for the past several months and we continue to keep Jim in our prayers.

We will also raffle a beautiful quilt made by Mrs. Taylor and in SNA colors during Catholic School Week. Tickets and a picture are included today.

A wrap up of the Santa Shop is also included. Have a good rest of the week.

THANKS
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THE SANTA WORKSHOP A GREAT SUCCESS!
To all of our parents, parishioners, teachers, and friends: We couldn’t have done it without your donations, time, energy and enthusiasm.
Because of you, we made $3500 for our PTO. This money goes directly back to our students, teachers and school.
A special thanks to the Holy Trinity Men’s Club, the Norwood Business Women and the Wilmink’s for their generous donations for our student raffle.
We continue to need your help. Our inventory was almost completely depleted this year. Please keep us in mind during the “after Christmas sales” and buy 10-12 items for next year. We are happy to store it at school.
Finally, we will be sending out a brief on-line survey after the first of the year to ask you for your thoughts, comments and ideas about the Santa Workshop. We are always looking to improve it and would love to get feedback.
THANKS! Patty & Jeannie
