Weekly Communication: March 9, 2021

Dear Parents, 

You may have heard the wonderful news from your children, but the SPS family is growing.  Congratulations to Mr. Smolinski and his wife, Janine!  They gave birth to a beautiful boy just this morning!  Griffin Stanley Smolinski weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz.  We pray for continued blessings for the Smolinski family!  His picture is below. 

Recently, there has been a lot of information sent home regarding the Shamrock Auction.  Since the event is being held virtually this year, I would like to clarify a few things. 

• The Shamrock Auction is our largest fundraiser. 
• In the past, we have had a dinner dance and your $250 commitment to the PTA could have been used to purchase tickets to the event. You also had the option to fulfill your commitment by purchasing 10 Week Club tickets or to be a sponsor for the Road Race, (if we are able to have one). If you have not yet fulfilled your commitment, please go to the BidPal link below. 
• Even if you have already made your $250 commitment, we encourage you to virtually attend the gala on March 20th.  There will be some great, priceless items up for bid and your generosity benefits our school children.  It really is a fun night!! 
• The door prize at the gala is a $150 gift.  You must attend to be eligible to win! 

• Be sure to look for Shamrock the Puppy at pickup this Friday, March 12 - you could be meeting your newest furry family member! If you haven't watched him in action yet, here is the link to a short video:

As I talked about last week, Easter break is fast approaching.  I know that many of you will be traveling out of state.  I believe that why we have been so successful this year is because of the willingness of our families to share information with our nurse for the good of the entire SPS community. 

I ask that you continue to keep the lines of communication open and share your plans with Ms. Palumbo regarding travel to ensure the safety of all.  If you are planning to quarantine after break, please let us know your plans so that we may better prepare our teachers. 

As we watch the SPS iceberg melt in the parking lot, we ask that if you are walking to the drop-off or pick-up line, please use the Moore St. entrance behind the church.  There just isn't enough room to walk in from Moran St.  Thank you for your cooperation. 

God Bless,

Kim Clauss
