Royal Wedding Tea Party

2011 SCISA State Science Fair

$921.12

I can't wait to post the pictures! We had a BIG day today, with the Royal Wedding Tea Party followed by our biggest day of Putt-Putt so far! Kudos to Bates Motors for pledging $250 and to Kim Murray for beating out my pledges ($33) by managing to procure $36!

There is NO SCHOOL Monday. Come out and join us for the Golf Marathon at Legend Oaks if you feel the need for some great fellowship. Our own Brian Knichel will be golfing!

Save the Date:
Mothers, please mark your calendar for May 11. I will be hosting my Annual Mary Elizabeth Mother's Day Tea in honor of my mother, who passed away in 1999. It will be a morning of elegant fellowship and sweet blessings for you. Please make every effort to take a couple of hours off from work that morning to join us. I promise.... you will be blessed! I will have invitations ready to send out next week, I am still waiting on confirmation to use one of the chapel rooms here on campus.

Golf Marathon Room Captain: Brian Knichel

Golf Marathon 2011 is 18 days away!  Momentum is really building.  The Golf Marathon Room Captain for the Fantastic Ants class is Brian Knichel. He is asking that all of us get involved.  Our class is participating through the Fifth Grade's Annual Putt-Putt Marathon.

All of us…doing a little…adds up to a lot.  You can play a big part to make it successful. 

We can always take MORE GOLFERS!  There's still time for you to jump on board as a golfer, fundraiser, or volunteer.  No golf experience is required, but the ability to have fun is a must! Please reply to this post and let me know that you are “on board!”  Say YES…COUNT ME IN!

 

You can also send an email to Brooks Hearn at brooks@cathedralemail.com or Brain Knichel at bknichel@aol.com to become involved in any aspect of the event.

Easter Picnic Tomorrow!

If you will be joining us for the picnic and Easter Egg Olympics tomorrow, we will be meeting out at the Pavilion behind the soccer fields at 11:30. If you can arrive a little early to help Sandra set up, I am sure she would welcome the extra hands. The second gate off of Windsor Hill Boulevard will be unlocked so that you may drive and park by the Pavilion, instead of having to walk from the school across all of the fields. :)

Homework:
Enjoy your Spring Break and come back refreshed and ready to finish out the Fourth Quarter!

If you happen to see any magazines or booklets devoted to the topic of the Royal Wedding, I will be offering 500 Scoreboard Points for each one sent in. Thanks!
