Dear St. Isidore School Parents,

What a grand Catholic Schools Week we are having! The activities have been so much fun. The collection for P.A.D.S. is going well. Congratulations to the St. Anne (Mrs. Andrews) Faith Family and the St. Anthony (Mrs. Butler) Faith Family. They were the winners of the Academic Bowl. I think that both the students and faculty are enjoying every minute of this week! Remember that tomorrow students may wear tie-died shirts or sweatshirts with jeans. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat will be performed tomorrow in the M.C. at 1:15. Parents are welcome to attend. Please sign in at the school office first. Teacher Raffle winners will be chosen tomorrow afternoon. The proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Feed My Starving Children when the 4th – 8th graders volunteer there later this month and next.

Thank You – Thank you to H.S.A. for planning and supporting the Roller Skating Party, Wheel of Wisdom and the Joseph Production we will see tomorrow. H.S.A. also donated two huge baskets for the Teacher Raffle. Thank you to all of the parents who helped to make these things possible.

Auction Update – The tables are filling up, the decorations are being planned, and the ad book is about ready to go to print. It’s almost Auction/Gala Time! Please remember to help out in any way you can. That includes purchasing raffle tickets and attending the big event. The race is on to win the Pajama Day and Pancake Breakfast! Currently the AM Kindergarten and the 8th Gr. are tied for the percentage of parents attending. Get your reservation in soon!

Family Fest – See the e-envelope for information about Family Fest at Yorktown Mall on Saturday, Feb. 11th. It will be a fun family event.

Sports News – The All-Star Basketball games are this weekend. See the girls play at 1:00 and the boys play at 2:00 at St. Walter’s.

Enjoy this unseasonably warm weather

God Bless,
Mrs. Cyndi Collins

Fund Raising

"Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You too must be patient. Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand" (James 5:7-8)

About

St. Isidore was a farm hand. He was born near Madrid, Spain in 1070. He attended mass every morning at a Madrid church before he set out for work as a farm laborer. Isidore and his wife vowed celibacy in gratitude for a miracle which saved their son from drowning in a well. They were known for their holiness and care of the poor. St. Isidore died May 15, 1130. He was canonized with other Spaniards - St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Teresa of Avila on March 12, 1622.
