Notes From the Office: February 21st, 2017

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend, especially with the great weather on Presidents Day. Along with the warm weather there are a lot of illnesses being spread. Please make sure your children get plenty of rest, eat well, and wash their hands!  We will continue to disinfect and wipe down desk and chairs at school. Congratulations to Shea McGohon, John Reinhart, Alex Mayer, and Jacob Noffsinger for winning the Knights of Columbus District Free Throw Contest. They are now eligible for the regional competition. Please encourage your children to do their best as we come down the last stretch of this quarter. It is really hard to believe that the third quarter is almost over!!!

Volunteers Needed for March 5 Open House

We need four to five parent volunteers to give tours at Open House on Sunday, March 5 from 3 to 5 pm. It really is fun especially if you like to meet new people! If you can help, please contact Andrea Flanders at 859-396-3364 or [email protected]

Trivia Night was a huge success! Our biggest crowd yet – 16 tables, competed for the prized “Trivia Cup.”  Congratulations to team “Opus Dei” on the win!

Team “Goodfellas” took home the cup for “Best Table Decoration”.

We would like to thank, Dr. Justin Case, Gastroenterology & Hepatology of the Bluegrass for sponsoring Trivia Night.

A big thank you also to Lisa Case, Ben and Leslie Murphy, and Jen Nau who contributed gift cards for the winning team.  Another big thank you those who donated door prizes – Red State Taps, the Blue Stallion, Heirlooms & Gretchens, Bluegrass Liquor Box, and Emily Walters for her gift basket of Perfectly Posh!  Most importantly we have to thank Emily Balbaugh, Meighan Gassett, Heather Michelle-Adkins, and Gina Stewart for their help in making in all possible.

A totally sponsored event means ALL PROCEEDS will go to the SJS Book Fund for next year.  We made over $1800!!  Many are already wondering about the next Trivia Night……stay tuned!

Volunteer Needed to Coordinate the SJS Booth at Kite Festival in April

The Kite Festival will be held at the Cardome on April 22 & 23^rd and we are seeking a volunteer to coordinate the SJS booth activities and volunteers. Last year, we had a very fun and active booth where children made windsocks and had their face painted – a big hit and some great PR for our school!

Christina Gordley who coordinated the booth last year has kindly offered to provide guidance and fill you in on what was done last year to help make 2017 a great success!

Please contact Andrea Flanders at 859-396-3364 or [email protected] if interested in this volunteer opportunity.
