Box Tops:

Last year from July 2023 to June 2024, we raised $360.30 just by scanning shopping receipts with products that contain Box Tops.


So far from July 1, 2024 - present we have raised $82.40 from the Box Tops program. Box Tops are worth $.10 each and they add up fast! Twice a year, our school receives a check to help pay for whatever we need - equipment, supplies, or experiences the kids love! Did you know you can now connect your Walmart account for even easier fundraising? You can earn cash for your school without scanning receipts! See the app for more details.


IVolunteer:

Make sure to stop at the committee tables at Parent's Night to sign up early OR

https://stgabrielhubertus.ivolunteer.com/


NOTE - Adults who work exclusively with other adults do not need to undergo safeguarding measures. However, if a minor is involved at any point, safeguarding protocols as outlined by the Archdiocese must be followed. All volunteers who volunteer during school hours are required to be certified in the Archdiocese Safe Guarding All of God's Family Class. You can visit this webpage for more details.


Per the update to the handbook regarding Volunteers, pg 12

VOLUNTEERS (4140) Volunteer service is a core value of a Catholic parish and school community and should be both encouraged and publicly acknowledged. The administration at St. Gabriel parish and school strongly believes that parental involvement and participation in school activities is a vital way to have a direct positive impact on your child’s school experience. Volunteers enable our school to run more smoothly, operate within our annual budget, and offer more family-friendly events. So that St. Gabriel can achieve our goals, we ask that each family volunteer at least 10-15 hours during the school year. Gratitude and appreciation for your volunteerism cannot be given with something of value-in-kind for your service. By definition, a volunteer is someone who gives services without any expressed or implied promise of remuneration. 


We encourage every committee who has volunteer opportunities to email Nikki Packee their needs to this email nikki.packee@stgabrielhubertus.org. Please reach out, should you have questions, or visit this URL to volunteer!!! #manyhandsmakeworklight

8th Grade Commissioning Mass:


This school year marks a significant milestone for our 8th-grade students as they step into their role as leaders at St. Gabriel Catholic Parish School. During the recent Commissioning Mass on Wednesday, the 2024-2025 school theme "Faith Can Move Mountains" set the tone for their journey ahead.


As they embark on this final year of middle school, our 8th graders are called to lead by example, inspiring their peers and embodying the values that define our school community.


Please keep our 8th-grade students in your prayers as they navigate this important year, embracing their responsibilities with faith, courage, and a commitment to serve.

2024-2025 8th Grade Class!
