FROM THE PRINCIPAL
NEW Ms. Heins continues her recovery from the injuries she suffered in her fall. I am pleased to tell
you that Mrs. Amy Anderson has agreed to step in for Ms. Heins in her absence. Mrs. Anderson
brings a wealth of talent and experience to share with our students. She is very excited to
foster the creativity of the students. We are so happy to have her join us!
Reminder Back to School Night is tonight! Wednesday, September 4th, 7-8 pm. There has been a change in the schedule. Please see Mrs. Lafferty's note to parents here.
The Scrip Office has been relocated to the parish office. If you wish to purchase Scrip in person, please go to Door A at the parish office and you will be buzzed into the office. This relocation was undertaken to improve school safety by eliminating visitors in the school building. The Scrip hours remain the same. You may also send your order to school with your child and it will be sent home that day.

There will be one meeting a month, the third Wed of each month from 3-4pm, and the opportunity to sign up for helping in the community 1-3 times a month. Past activities have included such things as Reading to Residents at Brittany Pointe, playing Special Olympics basketball, laying wreaths at Veteran’s graves, and time at Mitzvah Circle Foundation. If your child is interested, please email Jess Woehr at jesswoehr@hotmail.com with your child’s name and HR.

SCHOOL NEWS
Welcome to our NEW BOX TOPS contest for 2019-2020. Due to the transition from clipping Box Tops to scanning receipts, there will no longer be a classroom competition. Instead, if Corpus Christi School earns $2500 from Box Tops this year, all students will be treated to Via Veneto Italian Ice. Box Tops for Education is changing its program. Instead of clipping Box Tops, you will be able to scan your receipts and earn money for Corpus Christi Catholic School. Please view the letter from Box Tops for Education that explains this change here. Corpus Christi will continue to earn 10 cents for every Box Top. We will continue to collect any remaining traditional paper Box Tops. Simply send them in on the collection sheets, which are included in the link above. Please no expired Box Tops.
NEW Drama Kids is back! We're excited to offer this program to students in grades K - 4. Classes begin on 9/9/19. More information can be found here.
NEW Attention Parents and Students:
Choir and Hand Chimes will start on Monday, September 9th. Reminder that Choirs meet on Mondays and Thursdays during lunch and recess. We kindly ask that all students pack their lunch and that it is Nut Free. Hand Chimes meets on Wednesdays during lunch and recess and their lunch needs to be Nut Free as well.
If your student would still like to sign up for choir or hand chimes, and didn't at the end of last school year, please fill out the permission slip and send it in with your student, or email it to Ms. Monaghan. Click here for Choir and here for Hand Chimes
