Traffic Update
 

Now that the school year is underway, we want to kindly give you some reminders for both arrival and dismissal.  This will help us with traffic flow and safety for the children.  Please know we appreciate your cooperation and support as we work together to keep our children safe.

  • All students are to enter through the front doors of the school in the morning.  The preschool doors are for preschool students only.
  • Please join the car line for drop off in the morning, patrols are available to help students get out of their cars.     
  • Dismissal has been great.  Thank you for not parking in the west lot (between the school and church) and walking over to pick your child up. 
  • Walking in front of the pick up line traffic at any time not only causes a safety hazard but also slows the flow of traffic.

QHR Youth Choir
 

Interested in joining Queen of the Holy Rosary's Youth Choir?  Open to grades 3-7, Youth Choir sings during the 9:00am Sunday Mass.  Practices are in the QHR basement on Wednesdays from 4:15-5:10pm.  Arrangements for supervision after school until 4:15pm can be made - please contact Michael Kym (qhrmusic@qhr-opks.org) for more information.  

Emerald City Drawing Next Week
 

We have "Fun 4 2" passes to Emerald City!  Each family that sells their goal of (10) raffle tickets by Friday, September 23rd, will be entered into the drawing to win the passes.  Your family's name will be entered for each additional (10) tickets sold as well.  The more raffle tickets you sell, the better your chance of winning!
