Library Thank You!

Written by Administrator

THANK YOU !

St. Rose School Library, Teachers & Students would like to say – “A BIG THANK YOU!” – for your generous support of our Book Fair Luau and One for Books. We sold about $4100—with our profit back to us at 50%--$2050. Each classroom received $100 in books, plus books purchased from the teachers wish picks. The library received about $1200 in new books and AR prizes. Scholastic matches our $232 collected for the One for Books and gives that same amount in books back to others in need nationwide.

Thanks again & God bless you for your generosity!

Dear Ladies of St. Rose School, Ladies Night Out

Written by Administrator

As co-chairs for the 2012 Auction and as fellow St. Rose moms, we would like to encourage you to join us at the Ladies Night Out on the first Monday of each month.

Basin Street Bistro opens exclusively for us at 6:30pm. We have yummy food waiting for us (so don’t eat dinner!) and you are welcome to purchase a glass of wine or beer to enjoy while you visit with other ladies. One of us has been a St. Rose parent for a long time while the other of us joined the St. Rose family just a couple of years ago. We remember how it sometimes felt that everyone knew everyone else. The Ladies Night Out is a way to help us all get a chance to know one another. We truly are like a big family here and want to get to know you! If you have a preschooler or Kindergartner, please come join us. If you are new to our school this year or if you aren’t able to be at the school during the day please take advantage of this chance to come meet us and the other St. Rose moms, grandmas, teachers, staff and volunteers. If you just need some time away with other women, you are welcome, too!

As part of Ladies Night Out, we ask that you bring an item to contribute to a basket. Each month we have a new theme for the basket. All of the baskets will be donated to our school auction in November. Donations do not have to cost a lot and can even be handmade or a donation of services. The items for the “Date Night” themed basket from last week’s Ladies Night Out ranged from cute to practical to racy. If you weren’t able to attend last week, please feel free to drop off a “Date Night” item in the school office and we’ll be sure it gets put in the basket.

For those of you who have been attending the Ladies Night Out events, remember to invite another lady who cares about St. Rose School to come with you. We sure hope to see you on March 5! Our March basket theme is “March Madness”—family indoor fun & games).

Yours,

Natalie Claussen & Michele Johnson

Letter from Principal Amy Krautscheid

Written by Administrator

Wow.....all I can really say is praise God and bless each and every one of you. As I met with our students today, I wondered where to start. I told them that we had a very special visitor at our school this weekend. Jesus was at our auction this Saturday. Only God alone could generate the amount of love and generosity shown to our school this weekend. Their faces lit up and the love they have for our Lord showed in each and every one of their eyes. Standing there in front of them, I wondered what I ever did to deserve such an amazing job. Why did God see me as worthy enough to help lead our school? I am honored and unable to find the words to thank you enough for putting your faith in me as your principal and in our school.

Only a short few years ago, we wondered if our little school would close. Now our worry has changed to where we can put another class and whether to add seventh and eighth grade. Amazing. Through prayer and the extreme dedication and hard work of all of our families, the 2011 auction was the most successful auction in the history of St. Rose School. We have raised a preliminary $168, 000. It truly takes each and every one of you to make the auction successful. From the parent hanging paper, to the sibling bussing tables, to the auction chairs who sacrifice so much family time and put countless hours into procurement and each detail so vital to the success of the auction.....we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are all the backbone of this school. You are the life that people feel as they walk into our school. You are why this school is thriving.

So again, thank you...thank you....thank you. I am blessed and humbled to be a part of the miracle of St. Rose School. We are doing GREAT things here. There is life and love pulsing in these hallways. God bless all of you. There is nothing that He can not do.

                                                                        Love in Christ,

                                                                        Amy Krautscheid
                                                                        St. Rose School Principal
