"Children like to know they are cared for. Children want to know you care for them before
they are willing to invest effort in what you are saying. They want to know you are willing to make an investment in them."

FUNDRAISING NEWS
Last week our Family Fundraising totals were sent home. It represents money earned
against your $800.00 that was paid in the beginning of the school year. Each time you
purchase Scrip, participate in a fundraiser (i.e., wrapping paper, Gertrude Hawk, etc.), or
purchase Market Day products during the year, monies (profit) earned from that sale will go
against each individual family fundraising total. During the school year a report is sent
home to keep you informed about what has been earned against that amount for each
family. Our school fundraising year is from June 1st to May 31st. On June 6th a year to
date total for the entire year (2006-2007) will be sent home again to each family. At that
time you will have a choice to "rollover" your monies for the 2007-2008 school year,
request a check to you, or donate your monies earned. This information is sent home
confidentially to each family.
A total of $340.00 was earned against the $800.00. Those monies are credited back to
your family. These are just opportunities for you to earn that money back to each family.
If you do not want to participate in those options that is fine. We are just giving you
choices to help each family earn money back.
Example Family "A" $800.00 (given in beginning of school year) Wrapping Paper Fundraiser 150.00 earned Market Day (Year total) 50.00 earned Gertrude Hawk 15.00 earned Scrip 125.00 earned Total: $340.00 earned
If you have any questions, please call Mrs. Halm for Fundraising totals, or Mrs. Bruckman for Scrip totals.
This week the Piazza Farms receipts came home with your child. If you did not receive
them or have a question about them, please call Mrs. Halm.
Dear Parents
Each year at our Eighth Grade Graduation, gifts of $50 or $100 are
awarded graduates based upon merit. Some groups (HSA, Holy Name, Knights of Columbus, etc.) award gifts that are determined by the
faculty and administration, but individuals may also assist a graduate.
For example, a gift in memory of a mother:
"Gift of Mr. John Jones in memory of Elizabeth Ann Jones."
If you wish to have a gift awarded at graduation, please complete the bottom portion of [the form in your packet] and return to my
attention by May 16. Checks may be made payable to Saints Philip and James School.
Thank you for your support of a graduating student.
Sincerely,
Irene D. Sena
Principal
