CLASS PICTURES – The order packets for class pictures were sent home last week. The deadline to have orders turned in is Friday, December 9, 2011.  

BASKETBALL UNIFORMS have been an issue this year and we are continually working to make everything right. The only explanation we have is that the uniforms were stored in Rubber Maid containers over the summer (just as they are after every season) and because it was so extremely hot for such an extended period of time, we feel that caused the problem we are experiencing with the numbers and letters falling off. It is understandable that the athletes are embarrassed to wear the uniforms that are messed up. Therefore, if any part of your student(s) uniform is in disrepair in any way, please send it to school following the games on Monday, December 12th. We will either repair their uniform or purchase a new one for them to wear throughout the remainder of the season. Thank you for your support and patience as we work through this situation. 

Although we don’t think that any extra level of laundering care would have prevented the uniforms that are peeling from doing so, we just want to remind you of the proper laundering instructions for both the cheer and basketball the uniforms. They should be washed in cold water on a delicate cycle without fabric softener and they should not be placed in the dryer. The uniforms will dry quickly when placed on a hanger to dry.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM performances will be on Thursday, December 15 at 1:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. All students will be participating in the program. Pre-K through 5th grade students may either wear their special Christmas attire or their school Mass attire. Costumes will be provided for the 6th through 8th grade students.  

BOOKS ARE FUN – Included with the regular Friday handouts is an order form for the “Books Are Fun” items.  They are currently displayed in our library.  If you wish to order, please get the completed forms to Kathy by Tuesday morning, December 6th.  Thank you. 

ARCHERY PRACTICE – In an attempt to avoid conflicts with basketball practices and games the following schedule has been set up for archery.  These practices will begin on Friday, January 6.

  • Grades 4-5 – Mondays, 4:30-6:00 p.m. and Saturdays, 10:00-11:30 a.m.
  • Grades 6-8 – Fridays, 4:30-6:00 p.m. and Saturdays, 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Parents are urged to be here on time to get their students as this is volunteered time for the coaches.  The practices are not mandatory but please be aware that there will be a shootout on both teams to decide who will go to competitions.   

LOST AND FOUND – Our collection of lost and found items has grown considerably this week. The configuration has changed but there is still a LOT of jackets here! If your child is missing something, our bench in the hallway would be a really good place to start looking. 

HTCS ENDOWMENT FUND TICKETS – Tickets for this year’s drawings are now available.  You may contact Kathy at the school (263-4422) or Meggan Shepherd, Julie Harris, Sharon Robinson or Steve Reese. The tickets are $100 each, are tax deductable and you can win more than once.  Our recent $100 winner is Garrett England and our first $250 winner is Deniece Schwarz.  Congratulations to all of our winners and good luck in the next drawing!  

INFANT JESUS OF PRAGUE PRAYER PROGRAM – This year we are continuing to pray for vocations to the priesthood. In an effort to involve our school families in our praying, we have developed the following program.  The school has purchased a statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague and produced a “week of prayers” to go together with the statue as it travels from family to family. The statue will be passed from one school family to the next at our weekly school Masses. Families may sign up to accept this traveling prayer service by contacting the school office. Instructions and a prayer binder will accompany the statue.  Thank you to the Phillips/Schweitzer Family and to the Schneiter Family for hosting the Infant Jesus.

MONDAY MORNING TIGER TIME – The word of the week for December 5-9 is …WORSHIP – The ceremonies, prayers or other religious forms by which this love is expressed.  Scripture: “I give to the Lord; you heavenly beings, give to the Lord glory and might; give to the Lord the glory due God’s name. Bow down before the Lord’s holy splendor.” – Psalm 29:1-2.  Quote:  “Worship him as if he was present.” – Unknown 

SERVERS – The servers for Masses this weekend (December 3/4) are:  5:00 p.m. – Grant & Grady, Judy; 10:30 a.m. – RE Students.  No daily Mass servers this week.
