COLOR RUN TOMORROW!!!! It looks like the weather will cooperate tomorrow and be a nice day for our 5K and fun run! We'd love to have you join us if you're free! Tomorrow- Saturday, October 8th at Saima Park. The race will begin promptly at 10:00. Please remember to send in your labels with your potential sponsors email/mailing address. Each student that sends in their 10 earns an out of dress (can be shared with siblings)! The color run funds raised will be used to help purchase interactive smart board projectors for rooms 7 & 8. We can now accept on-line donations for the Color Run- Share with Friends and Family! SCHOOL SPIRIT WEAR ORDERS Our St. Anna School Spirit Sweatshirts are in high demand! We have added a few new options this year (fleece and athletic jackets). Please note that youth sizes run small- we have a few sweatshirts in the office for you to look at sizing. You can order yours today by filling out and returning the order form. You can also pick up a form in the office. The deadline to order sweatshirts has been extended to Tuesday, October 11th. UNIFORM UPDATE We have made additions to the school/gym uniforms!! Students in grades K-5 may now order navy polo shirts in addition to the current white and gray. They can also wear the khaki bottoms. Students in grades K-8 can also wear a navy St. Anna t-shirt for gym class. These additions are available at Allen's. YANKEE CANDLE FUNDRAISER Thank you to everyone that participated in the Yankee Candle Fundraiser for the Friends of St. Anna PTO. The funds raised will be used to provide transportation for the spring class field trips! AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM PICK UP We are excited that after hours at St. Anna's is very busy and active. Many students are participating in after school programs and extended care. Safety is always our number one priority. Extended care students play on the playground in the afternoon whenever the weather cooperates. In order to keep them safe, we are asking after school program parents to park across the street and walk down to pick your child up whenever the parking lot is closed for extended care use. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping everyone safe while allowing them to enjoy the outdoor playground in the afternoons. GRANDPARENT'S DAY We want to celebrate all of our amazing Grandparents with a special Mass at school on On TUESDAY, October 25th at 9:00 AM, Most Reverend Robert J. McManus, Bishop of Worcester, will be the principle celebrant at the mass on Grandparent's Day. We look forward to honoring all of our amazing Grandparents. Grandparents (or a special grandparent fill in- aunt, uncle, God parent,etc.) are welcome to bring their grandchild to school at 8:30 that morning and briefly visit the classroom. We will all head over to Mass together to be there for 9:00. Grandchildren will sit with their grandparents during Mass and we will have refreshments after Mass. Grandparents are welcome to walk their grandchildren back to school to visit the Book Fair or say their good byes in the lobby. It is important for you to RSVP with the number of Grandparent's attending so we can plan the food accordingly. Unfortunately, there is no room for parents at this event... BULLYING AWARENESS MONTH October is Bullying Awareness and Prevention Month. We have Eileen Miller from DA Early's office coming out to present programs to all students in grades K-8 this month. Grades 4-8 will have their programs on October 18th and K-3 on October 24th. We are also offering a Parent Information Session on Thursday, October 27th at 9:00 at the Double Tree in Leominster. This program is being offered to all North County School families. Coffee and Danish will be provided! Please RSVP if you will be attending so we will have an accurate count for materials and food. VIRUS It is that time of year that virus' are going around school. We currently have several cases of Hand Foot Mouth Disease at St. Anna's. This virus presents with a fever and red bumps/blisters on the hands, feet and in the mouth. It can cause a sore throat. Please monitor your child for any symptoms. It is imperative that children running a fever or have any of these symptoms remain at home to prevent the spread of this virus. If you have any concerns- please contact your child's physician. CAFE CORNER October Lunch Menu Orders can be placed until 7am on the day of the meal at www.orderlunches.com Don't forget you can also order milk to go with home lunches- you can either order on-line or by sending in your milk money weekly or monthly to the office in an envelope marked with your child(ren)'s name. Please do not send in milk money daily- it is difficult to keep track of all those quarters in the office. Thank You. If you need to set up an OrderLunches account- follow the instructions here!
