Leaders.
Dear Families,
On behalf of the faculty and staff, I would like to wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas and pray that God’s blessings are upon you in this joyous season. Thank you so much for your thoughtful gifts to the faculty and, most of all, for the gifts of your children. They are a daily joy to all of us, and it is a privilege to be working in partnership with you.
Happy New Year and New Decade!
Sincerely,
Lynne Kennedy Mullen

Evacuation Drill:
Friday, December 18th is our annual evacuation drill. We will begin our drill with a duck and cover practice in the classrooms at 10:35. Students will then evacuate the classrooms and follow all regular evacuation procedures. We will all line up on the primary campus. Students may be picked up as early as 11:00 am. All students must be picked up by 12:00 pm. Every child must be picked up by a person designation on his/her emergency form. There will be NO AFTERNOON SLED. Please send a note if a person that is not on your child’s emergency form will need to pick her/him up on December 18th. NO students will be released without authorization, and every adult must have a picture ID with them to be presented for verification. |
Service Hours Updates
Enclosed please find our record of your service hours so far this year. We realize we may have missed some, so please add them on the paper and return it to us. After Christmas, if you did not participate in the Festival or gift-wrap sale, we will be sending you an invoice for the non-participation. As per your tuition contract, parent participation is required for our festival and our two main fundraisers or a non-participation fee is assessed. Thank you to the parents who paid their “opt out” fees up front.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Mr. Nathan Jacobson, our PE teacher, who was recognized as Regional Teacher of the Year for Rhythm & Moves. We are proud to have you as our teacher!
St. Leander Parish Crab Feed
St. Leander Parish presents its 3rd Annual Crab Feed on Saturday, February 6th. Tickets are $35 each until January 31st ( $40 after Jan 31st) and may be purchased at the parish office—they make a great Christmas gift for the “crab lover” in your life. Dinner includes delicious crab, salad, garlic bread, and a lovely dessert auction. Our Eighth Grade class will be helping serve and we are in need of four parents to help work in the kitchen. Parent hours are available. Please contact the school office if you can help. Also, if you enjoy baking and would like to provide a dessert for the dessert auction, you may also earn parent hours. We’ll send more information about the dessert auction after the holidays. This is another great parish event and the reviews the last two years have been terrific. We expect another “sold out” dinner, so get your tickets early!
