Dear Parents/Guardians:

Next Tuesday, September 24th Lifetouch will bet at school to take student and

staff photos for the 2019-2020 school year. Because these photos will be

used for our school yearbook, all students are required to dress in uniform.

Students will have an opportunity for pictures out of uniform in the

spring. Any student that reports to school out of uniform next Tuesday will

be required to call home to get his or her uniform.

As a reminder to all families, next Saturday is St. Cecilia’s annual fall

Oktoberfest celebration. The event, which runs from 5PM to 11PM, is a

great community building opportunity for our community. Everyone is

welcomed and encouraged to attend. Spread the word to family and friends!

Mr. Michael Goedde

Principal

Chocolate Sale Early indications are that we had a successful chocolate sale. We have some outstanding chocolate that still needs to be collected and money that needs to be turned in, but selling somewhere in the neighborhood of $14,000 worth of chocolate isn’t too bad. Once everything is in, we will square up with World’s Finest Chocolate, and the company will deliver prizes to students who earned them in the upcoming weeks. Thank You to all school families that helped to make this year’s sale a successful one!

Fall Pictures - Tuesday, September 24 Should parents need any Lifetouch order forms, these can be picked up in the school office. Students should come to school IN UNIFORM.
