School Newsletter 8/19/21

Welcome Back Giants! 

It has been such a joy to see the students again!  I am sure that by the time they get home tomorrow they will be exhausted from early mornings and all-day learning.  However, it is truly a blessing that we are able to be together again.  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with your children.

Calendar Reminders:

Monday, August 23 is the first full day for preschool and kindergarten.

Holy Name Society Golf Outing

The Holy Name Society of St. Gerald supports both the parish and the school.  They are dedicated in their mission and incredibly generous.  We can’t thank them enough.

With that being stated, HSN needs our support.  They are hosting a golf outing on September 17.  If you are interested in sponsoring a hole in the name of a teacher, you will find a sign-up form attached to the newsletter. The deadline for Sponsorships is Wednesday Sept 1^st. Family Hole Sponsorship is $100 (hole can be split between families).  Please consider supporting and/or joining HSN. They are an amazing blessing at St. Gerald!

If any family has not paid the curriculum fee, please log into Smart Tuition ASAP to pay.  The tuition payments will begin in September, and we don’t want families to get hit with a huge first payment because of the curriculum fees.  Thank you!
