Family Fun Night!

There is no better way to celebrate the culmination of Catholic Schools Week than with a big party, great food, and games! Please come
join all of the fun!
Pizza Dinner will be first, including soda or water for $5 per person (children under 3 are free)
Then the fun starts! The children (PK to 8th Grade) will team up to compete in crazy contests that will be entertaining for
all ages. Please sign up using the form in your packet. When you arrive, look for the check-in table to pick up your team assignment.
Return the form with your payment to the HSA mailbox in the Main Office no later than January 30.
School Days.... School Daze
You are invited to come and spend a class epriod with your child/ren
in his/her classroom on Tuesday, January 29th or Friday, February 1st. On these 2 days, we invite you to sit in your child's classroom
to enjoy one lesson for the day. Please remain for one class so that there is enough space for all parents without overcrowding
the room. We will ask the teachers to send home a schedule so you can plan your visit.
Included in this information there are three lunch times for the grades. During the lunch periods, we ask that there are no visitations.
Please note that again this year we will have, "Let's Do Lunch!" during Valentine's week. This is when we invite you to join your child for lunch
in our cafeteria.
In order to keep the hallways and cafeteria open or passable, please exit the building by 2:00 PM on the visitation days.
Also, we love all your children, however younger siblings can be very distracting to the teachers and students, so please make other
arrangements for them.
THANK YOU!
Holy Childhood Boxes of Love
Please return all Advent Mission Boxes to your homeroom teacher by
Friday, January 25th. Thank you for all your prayers and sacrifices for poor children around the world. You are always most generous.

Catholic Schools Week Mass
This Sunday, January 27, 2008, begins Catholic Schools Week. We ask
that all students attend Mass at their home parishes wearing the SSPJ dress uniform. At St. Philip and St. James Parish, the 9:00 AM
Sunday Mass is dedicated to our Catholic School and students should wear their uniforms and remain after Mass for a group picture.
Families of St. Mary Parish:
Please join us on Sunday, January 27 for a celebration of Catholic Schools Week at the 9:30 AM Mass. Students are requested to wear their
dress uniform as they are seated with their families.
IMPORTANT FINGERPRINTING INFORMATION!
In compliance with policies of the Diocese of Metuchen and the NJ
Department of Education, volunteers and employees of school systems must be fingerprinted through the SAGEM MORPHO agency. To facilitate
this, SSPJ has made arrangements for SAGEM Morpho's "Mobile Fingerprint Operations" to come to our school February 13 for faculty and staff,
and February 14 for volunteers.
VOLUNTEERS PLEASE NOTE: Only volunteers new to SSPJ this year need to utilize this agency. If you have been a part of KidSafe, your
fingerprints are on file until the exp[iration date printed on your ID card. If you are new to our volunteer list, or do not have a
