| Thank you for helping us reach our $30,000 Race for Education goal. |
I hope you can join us this week for our preschool and K-8 Race for Education! The preschool and K-8 dates and times are listed below. The K-8 students can wear their P.E. uniforms or STS spiritwear with their P.E shorts or sweats (no jeans please) and sneakers.
On Wednesday, 11/2, the 2nd grade students will dress as saints and will participate in their annual Saint Parade.
The annual CYO pep rally at PVI High School is scheduled tomorrow, Wednesday, 11/2 at 6:30 pm (at PVI). We are in need of CYO basketball coaches for our 5th grades girls' and boys' teams. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Paul Hunter, STS parent and league commissioner.
Thank you to everyone who
made donations of soap, tooth brushes, toothpaste, wash clothes, deodorant for the Mission Commission collection for Haiti. With your help, the Mission Commission was able to package over 700 pounds of Hygiene Kits to be distributed by Medical Missionaries in Haiti! Thank you for putting our faith in action!
Thanks also to everyone who sent in donations to support our Student Government Super Hero Day to aid the
hurricane victims in Haiti!
We will have a total for you in next week's Tidbits, as donations are still coming in. We thank you for your generosity!
For your convenience the Parent / Teacher Conference sign up page will be posted on the STS website tomorrow, Wednesday, 11/2/16.
Students are really enjoying the school lunches. Their favorites are breakfast for lunch, pasta and sauce, pizza and any kind of chicken dish! We recently had an Oktoberfest lunch which included mini hot dogs and cheesy fries. Please remember to fund your student's account and let the kitchen know if you have any questions.
The Crisis Pregnancy Center is in need of winter coats of all children 's sizes. You may bring your gently used or new winter coats to the front office or cafeteria area by Wednesday, November 9th. Please label them "Crisis Pregnancy Center". Also, we are still accepting clothing (newborn - 3T), blankets and diapers. Thank you for your recent donations to this worthy cause.
Finally, I'd like to thank the Zobel family for their generous donation to the STS Art Program; we greatly appreciate your kindness and generosity!

INIC UPDATE
:
Race for Education Week:
the PTO will be serving treats after the races. Please check the school nurse webpage for snack ingredients and let your teacher know if your child cannot have the snack due to allergies. The K-8 Snack: Polar blast, does have red dye #40 included in ingredients. You may send in another safe snack for your child if they cannot eat the one offered.
Please make sure you plan to get your annual flu vaccine. This protects yourself, your family, and the vulnerable people in your community.
Community Immunity:
When a critical portion of a community is immunized against the flu, most members of the community are protected because there is little opportunity for the virus to spread.
For community immunity to work, each of us who can receive flu vaccine, must get vaccinated every year. This flows over into school community as well!!
Stomach bug lasting 2-3 days has been reported and fevers for a few days in the younger grades and some middle school. Many complaints of stomach and headache but no fever. Make sure everyone is getting plenty of rest and hydrating! Thank you
Have a great week!!

School Nurse
