Happy National Catholic Schools Week as of Sunday, the 31st.  The theme this year is “Catholic Schools – Dividends for Life: FAITH,  KNOWLEDGE, DISCIPLINE, MORALS!”  How’s that for a great sermon, right there?  Please pass on the word. 

 

Most of our students look forward to this week because they know it will bring some special (and often fun) activities.  Mr. Rick Krueger of Premier Martial Arts of Watertown promises to deliver a message that will strengthen the students’ self-esteem and self confidence on Monday morning. Principals and teachers around Wisconsin have sung Rich Rubietta’s praises, the presenter Thursday afternoon at St. Bernard’s of a joint music assembly that “introduces students to a way of prayer and worship that joyfully engages the whole person from head to toe!”  By the way, please be sure that your children will be dressed appropriately for the walk there and back that day.  Also, you will find the permission slip with information about the fun afternoon on Friday at Skate Express in this envelope.  See what I mean about special and fun activities?

 

Of course, you could see from last week’s flyer that Thursday evening is a not-to-be-missed parents’ event. You remember, from your service hours’ slip, that some HASA activities can be counted in on your service hours’ total.  Coming to hear Andy Meier Thursday night certainly may be listed.  And attending a free, delicious supper before – what a deal for sure!

 

Please, if you have a child who will be new to St. Henry next year, be sure to call and ask for a registration slip and get it returned on or before Friday the 5th.  Those with children in school already are given top priority for attendance in any open classes next year if the registrations are received before the Sunday after Catholic Schools Week.  After that day, all registrations are received on a first-come, first served basis.  Of course, if you have friends considering enrolling children for next year, earlier is safer than later.  Next year’s 4K class registrations will be at the public school office on the corner of Dodge and First Street  next week  Monday through Wednesday, February 1-3.  Because we are in partnership with them, the only cost is a $20.00 fee for the year! Those who get that done next week and choose St. Henry as their site of preference certainly have the best chances of having their little ones here with us next year.  They will then begin their school experience at St. Henry “Soaring with the Lord” as thousands have done before them since 1854!
