THE TREASURER'S REPORT SHOWS A BALANCE OF $1576.03 IN OUR ACCOUNT AS OF THE END OF OCTOBER. OUR LAST ISAAC'S NIGHT BROUGHT IN @ $137 AND OUR KIDSTUFF BOOK SALE--NOT A STELLAR EVENT!-RAISED @$125. AT THIS POINT THE GENERAL CONSENSUS WAS NOT TO SELL THE COUPON BOOKS NEXT YEAR--SO YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD PRE-SCHOOLER FOR THOSE COUPON BOOKS NEXT YEAR!
WE ALSO PAID OUT $150 FOR THE K & 1ST GRADE FIELD TRIPS.
PAST EVENTS:
WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO SAY THAT THE FIRST LID'S NIGHT OUT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! THANK YOU , THANK YOU TO JODI AND BECKY FOR ALL OF YOUR PLANNING AND ORGANIZING--ALL OF THE CHILDREN HAD A GREAT TIME--I THINK THE ADULTS DID AS WELL! AND A SPECIAL AWARD SHOULD HAVE GONE TO THE MOST DEVOTED FATHER-PIRATE DAN NADU-AAARRRGGGHHHH!!! AND THE MOST DEVOTED GRANDPARENT--TOBY STANLEY, AKA RAGGEDY ANN--THOUGH SHE REALIZED THAT THE KIDS DIDN'T KNOW WHO RAGGEDY ANN WAS!! NEXT YEAR I THINK THE COSTUME SHOULD BE BARBIE--EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ONE! THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED IN ANY WAY -52 CHILDREN ENJOYED THE PARTY AND FOR WHAT WASN'T REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE A FUNDRAISER WE ENDED UP MAKING @ $270! NICE WORK LADIES!! THEY ARE NOW BUSY LITTLE ELVES PLANNING FOR A DROP AND SHOP AFTER SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, DEC. 11, FROM 2:30-5:00. NOT AS ELABORATE THIS TIME MORE OF A CHANCE FOR PARENTS TO GET SOME HOLIDAY SHOPPING DONE WHILE THE KIDS ARE ENTERTAINED WITH GAMES A CRAFT AND SNACKS BUT NOT REALLY A PARTY THEME! WE ARE ALSO GOING TO CHECK WITH MRS. WEAVER AND MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT STEPPING ON THE TOES OF STUDENT COUNCIL WHO LAST YEAR OFFERED SOMETHING SIMILAR.
UPCOMING EVENTS INCLUDE OUR NEXT FRIENDLY'S NIGHT ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16 FROM 5-9 AT THE CENTERVILLE LOCATION--WHAT BETTER WAY TO START OFF YOUR WEEK THAN WITH A HOT-FUDGE SUNDAE!!
H&S WILL ALSO HAVE A TABLE AT THE CHRISTMAS BAZAAR, SAT. DECEMBER 21 FROM 9-3. WE WILL DO THE USUAL LOLLIPOP GAME FOR THE KIDS AND WILL ALSO BE SELLING OUR SOON TO BE NEWLY DESIGNED SPIRIT WEAR! GO SAMANTHA! SHE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB SETTING US UP WITH A CONTACT TO DESIGN AND PRINT NEW SPIRIT WEAR ITEMS SUCH AS A T-SHIRT, LONG SLEEVE SHIRT, AND HOODED SWEATSHIRT ALL TO BE SOLD AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES WITH MINIMAL MARK-UP ON OUR PART--AGAIN MORE OF A SERVICE THAN A MONEY-MAKER. SO GUESS WHAT EVERYONE IS GETTING FOR CHRISTMAS?? SACRED HEART SHIRTS ALL AROUND!!!! SAMANTHA HAS A FEW LOGO IDEAS WE DISCUSSED AND THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET INPUT FROM THE STUDENTS--WE TALKED ABOUT SHOWING THE DESIGNS OFF AT LUNCHES ANOTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO ASK STUDENT COUNCIL FOR THEIR ADVICE ,OR WE COULD INCLUDE IT IN THE 3-VOLUME SET -VOLUME 1-WE WILL BE SENDING AROUND LOOKING FOR INPUT ON VARIOUS OTHER THINGS!!!!! WE ARE CHECKING WITH THE ATHLETIC ASSOC. TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT PLANNING ON SELLING ANYTHING SIMILAR AND EVEN DISCUSSED WORKING TOGETHER WITH THEM ON THIS.
WE WILL NEED HELP MANNING OUR TABLE THAT DAY IF ANYONE IS AVAILABLE PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I'LL GIVE YOU A FREE LOLLIPOP OF YOUR CHOOSING!
ON OUR SCHOOL CALENDAR IT IS NOTED THAT H&S IS SPONSORING COFFEE AND DONUTS AFTER THE 10:30 AM CHILDREN'S MASS ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 6. I AM GOING TO CHECK WITH FATHER MESSNER AND MAKE SURE THAT IS OKAY AND THAT IT IS THE CHILDREN'S MASS. IF SO, WE WILL NEED HELP WITH THE MAKING OF THE COFFEE (UH, MARK??? THIS IS WHERE YOU STEP IN AND SAY SURE I'LL MAKE THE COFFEE!! WE DON'T CALL YOU MR. COFFEE FOR NOTHING!) PICK-UP DONUTS AND SET-UP AND SERVE THAT MORNING. LAST YEAR EVERYTHING WAS DONE BEFORE THE 10:30 MASS AND WASN'T MUCH CLEANUP AFTERWARDS.

WE DISCUSSED HOSTING A COOKIE EXCHANGE EITHER LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR WHERE LETTERS WERE SENT OUT IN THE COMMUNICATIONS ENVELOPES --BUT TURN OUT WAS NOT THAT GREAT--OR HAVING H&S MEMBERS BRING THE COOKIES AND MAKING UP TRAYS FOR THE FACULTY AND OR STAFF -OOORRRRR- INVITING THE FACULTY AND STAFF PARTICIPATE--DROP THEIR COOKIES OFF IN THE MORNING AND BY DISMISSAL THOSE CRAZY LITTLE H&S ELVES WILL HAVE PUT TOGETHER LOVELY TRAYS FOR THEM TO TAKE HOME!!!! WE DIDN'T GET TO FAR ON THIS ISSUE THOUGH --A LOT OF MIXED REVIEWS!!! ANY MORE? AND WE DID CONSIDER SENDING OUT A LETTER TO SEE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING--VOLUME 2 OF 3!!!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE HAVE TO BEGIN PLANNING FOR FAMILY FUN BINGO--WE HAD SOME INTERESTING OPTIONAL IDEAS BUT THIS IS A G-RATED NEWSLETTER!!!!! JANE WE WILL NOT BE SERVING BEER!!!!!
