Breakfast with Santa Cancelled
Breakfast with Santa has been cancelled.
Those who bought tickets will receive refunds.
Thank you to our parent volunteers for their great effort to plan and coordinate the event, which had been scheduled for Dec. 3, and thank you to all of the parent-volunteers who responded to the request for help with a pledge to decorate, clean up, and provide service on the day of the event.
Breakfast with Santa is a big operation, and we just weren't ready in a few key areas.
We are working on planning Christmas activities during the school day, in partnership with parent volunteers, on the afternoon of Friday, Dec. 16.
More on that to come.
Happy Thanksgiving to Our Wonderful SJB Families
We pray that your Thanksgiving holiday is safe. We pray for happiness for you and your families. We pray in gratitude for your support, trust, and partnership in the education of your children. We will see you on Monday, Nov. 28, when we return from the Thanksgiving holiday.
Last Chance to Apply for Tuition Assistance for Next Year
Applications are Open until Dec. 2
To be eligible for tuition assistance from the parish and school, families must apply for Archdiocesan tuition assistance so that the pastor and principal can evaluate financial need.
See the tuition assistance website of the Archdiocese of Washington for information. Or, log into your TADS account and go to the Financial Aid tab to apply.
A Little Help?
A Little Help? was launched to give parents specific, immediate ways that they can help their child's school.
Volunteering is a terrific way to become more involved in your child's school. Volunteers must be child-protection certified. Find out how on the volunteer page.
See the Home School Association Volunteer Interest form and volunteer flyer.
