ATTACHMENTS FLYERS-BOOK FAIR & PARENT LETTER INSIDE

Dear GA Families
With the arrival of winter temperatures this week, please be sure your children come dressed for outside recess. Weve had lots of students borrowing gloves and hats from the nurse, lost and found, and searching backpacks very regularly looking for missing items. It was too cold for outside recess today, but if the air temperature is above zero and or the windchill is not below -10 degreeswe will have the students go out for at least part of the recess time.

Catholic Schools Week. Well have three divisions of competitionK-2, 3-5, and 6-8.

Introducing Our New Hospitality Ministry and Baking Brigade!!

Do you like to entertain, bake or just meet people and make them feel welcome? If so, we invite you to join our new GA hospitality ministry. This ministry will support parishwide events such as a reception for our parish feast day or a welcome event for a new priest, deacon or staff member. We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to either coordinate an event or those folks who would rather just help out. Maybe you could get a team of 2-3 friends or family members who would be willing to coordinate an event or two each year as a mini-social bonding event between friends/family? We would also like to create a Baking Brigade of folks who would be willing to occasionally bake treats for parish events. If you are interested in any of these activities please contact Marie Guillemette 952-368-3086.
