Our Ignatian virtue for September is “Discerning.” Students
in a Jesuit school are growing to be discerning about the choices
they make and the effects of those choices.
The Tiger Den is open now until midnight September 16, 2024,
so do not wait! Browse the selection of new and returning
sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, and more. Once the store closes all
orders will be fulfilled and delivered to the school. The
store carries items for men, women, and kids.
All students will be decorating their very own Christmas Plates
very soon. Their spirited designs will be turned into a 10”
melamine plate to treasure for years to come! These plates can be
used at home or would make cherished gifts for grandparents or
other loved ones. If purchased, the final product will be
returned to the students before Christmas break. The plates are
$25 each. Orders are due by Monday, September 30.
We are just weeks away from our first major fundraiser and we
need your help! We are looking for wine bottle donations
with a value of at least $20 as well as gift cards with at
least a $10 value. We will be accepting donations between
September 18-October 9 with drive-thru donation drops on
Wednesdays.
There will be tables outside the preschool entrance gate from
11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Friday, September 13. Tickets for
Parish Fall Festival can be pre-purchased. See price
list. Also, anyone who signed-up on Helper, Helper to
donate pumpkins or cakes can donate these items at this time (as
well as on Sunday, September 15 from 8:00 am to 10:00 am).
This year there will be a Scavenger Hunt at Parish Fest and all
kids can win a prize bag. You will receive a half-sheet in
your child’s backpack with eight questions that can be answered
by walking around Parish Fest. Copies will be available at
the festival as well along with prize bags for all who complete
their Scavenger Hunts. Questions email the Taylors at
csusgurl89@gmail.com.

This year at Parish Fest there will be a touch-a-truck.

Sacramento Metro Fire Department to talk to kids and show them
the firetruck. Firetruck will be at festival 10:30
am-12:30pm. There will also be police and a squad car from
the Sacramento County Sheriff’s office at Parish Fest.
Officers will be on hand to talk to kids, show them the squad car
and pass out swag. Stop by!

October Hot lunch menu is open online. I am including the
directions previously posted for those who may not have used it
yet. As a reminder, please make sure you are ordering for the
“correct” grade for this school year.
As parents, we know that once you pick up the kids from school
it’s a mad sprint of activities, homework, after school snacks,
dinner and bedtime. Before you engage in the sprint, you can
prepare yourself with a little quiet time. And we have a great
place prepared for you inside the Church. The Church is open for
school families from 2 -3 p.m.
