IHOP Gift Certificates - they are here and now available for purchase. All the funds raised support our athletic program. So for every four certificates you buy ($5 per certificate), we give you a fifth one for free. A win win situation for all. The gift certificates are like cash and can be redeemed at the Westchester IHOP only ($10 per party per visit). The certificates will be sold after masses this weekend but you can purchase by simply sending in payment to the school. Thanks in advance for your support.

ATTENDANCE AT MASS: each class (1-8) attends the 8 AM Mass during the week. This is not optional. Everyone needs to arrive by 7:45 AM in order to walk to church with the class. IF there is an occasion that the student is late, bring them to school and they will wait in the office. Entering church late is extremely disruptive. Please make every effort to arrive early on Mass day.

BLANKETS: All donations need to be received by this Friday please.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAM ATTIRE: Please have the children wear their best Christmas outfits for the program on Thursday Dec. 17. No Jeans are permitted. This is a dress up occasion.

CHRISTMAS TREES: If you ordered a tree or wreath and did not pick it up on Satuday,please do so today. We also have a few trees that are for sale, so call the office if you are interested.

REPORT CARDS: Enclosed in the family envelope are the first trimester report cards. Please go over them with your students, sign them and return them in the envelope tomorrow. The test scores are yours to keep.

PAC TEN ALL CONFERENCE AWARDS - Congratulations to the following Spartans: Tyler, Darrin and Charise for being selected to the All Conference Pac Ten volleyball team and Trent, Jacob, Mekai and Steven for being selected to the All Conference Pac Ten flag football team. The award is based on a player's sportsmanship, character, ethical conduct and athletic performance and were made by the coaching staff to CYO. CYO is currently recognizing this achievement on its website at www.cyousa.org.

With no gym available until late January, we will do the best we can with practice schedules and facilities and inclement weather. Please work directly with the coach of your team. All teams have met to date except for Girls B and Boys C 4th. Girls B intends to practice on M and W from 330 pm to 5 pm at school. Boys C 4th intends to begin its practices the week of December 14.

Lastly, please note that we will have mandatory parent meetings in early January; there will be multiple scheduled meetings and each family MUST be represented at just one of the meetings which will last about one hour. We will have the scheduled dates and times of the meetings next week. So if your child plans to play basketball, you must attend one of these meetings. We will do it after the holidays when life is a little less hectic.

Have a good week and God bless you!
