NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Back by popular demand is the 8th grade class trip to New York City. Believe 
it or not, I have already secured the date and made inital arrangements. 
Please look for a letter from me this week (Oct. 20 to 23) regarding the 
trip.  The date of the trip is May 12, 2010. This is the day before Ascension 
Thursday. We are off on Friday of that week also. The cost of the trip for 
both students and parents is $125 to be paid in two installments of $62.50 
unless you would rather pay the whole thing at once. The first installemnt is 
due on November 3 with the balance due on January 22, 2010.

My letter contains more detail as well as dates of importance to all 8th 
grade students and parents.

Universal High School Visitation Day is scheduled for Novemeber 19. This is a 
day when all 8th graders in the archdiocese are invited to visit the 
archdiocesan high school of their choice.  More details will follow.

High School Recommendations

Requests are beginning to come in for recommendations to high schools.  I am 
happy to complete them in a timely manner.  Please be sure to include stamped 
envelopes adressed to the schools of your choice.

Students wishing to visit/shadow in any of the high schools they are 
interesetd in should check with those schools for information regarding 
dates, etc. A note to me explaining abscence will suffice.  As with any 
absence, students are expected to make up any missed assignments.

Fund Raising

I am grateful to those homeroom parents who have volunteered to take the lead 
in fund raising for 8th grade activities.  I hear that the pretzel sales are 
a huge hit.  Box tops are also pouring in.  Thank you. Mr. Steve Wildemann 
informed me the other day that the Athletic Association has agreed to give 
the proceeds of one dance to the 8th grade.  How very generous! I believe 
something will be expected from the 8th grade students in the way of 
assisting at the dance.  I'm sure you will be notified well in advance.

CHRISTMAS CONCERT

Once again the 8th grade will be the featured players for the annual 
Christmas Concert to be held on Dec. 17.  I have supplied most students with 
costumes.  All thirty of them! The sheep and angels are still without 
costumes.  Mr. Hosking has given the sheep simple suggestions for their 
costumes and the angels usually borrow altar server albs.

I ask your help in assisting the students with their costumes even if it only 
means ironing or freshening up a bit. Thank you in advance for your continual 
support.

Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
