7th - 8th Grade Science: 7th and 8th graders used their communication skills as they practiced their team work last week.  The groups used 3 foot long pieces of strings tied to a marker to work together to write the word "patience".  Fun was had by all, but most importantly they learned the importance of communicating with each other to come up with a solution.  This week it is on to Science Lab safety as they prepare to work in the Science Lab.

Our Night at the Races is right around the corner.  This is our largest fundraiser, raising almost $30,000 in one night for our school.  We would love to see as many parishioners as possible join us.  Stay tuned for ticket sales.  This event sells out early, so plan ahead.  We are also looking for donations for our baskets (silent auction and raffles).  Any item is appreciated, no item is too big or too small.  This year the committee has developed a wish list on Amazon for anyone wishing to make a donation to our baskets.

For those of you who might be interested in supporting our school financially, we do have a School Endowment Burse, the proceeds of which are dedicated to supporting the school, through funding tuition support, and helping to fund capital improvements for the school. 

If you would like to donate to the Burse, arrange to fund the Burse through your will, or have any other questions about the Burse, please contact Deacon Rich at 216.533.1114.  He would be happy to help.

Q: What is the “300 Club”?

A: Your $50 donation gives you a chance to win $300 each month-
January through November 2018. 
 
The winner will be picked and notified on the third Sunday of each month.
 
The December 2018 draw is for $2500 and will be drawn at a dinner at the West-Side Irish American Club (date and time TBD).  Each “300 Club” ticket holder (only 300 tickets sold) receives a free dinner, which is included in the $50 cost of the ticket.  All “300 Club” ticket holders can bring a guest to the December drawing for an additional cost. 
 
The winning ticket each month is put back into the tumbler
so you have a chance to win 12 times!
