Outreach results: Our Outreach program this year was a tremendous success. The amount collected from grades 5 through 8 was approximately $1200.00 which was used to provide for 4 families including gift cards to Target and Stop and Shop. The elementary grades provided 40 personal care bags and the primary grades sent boxes of stocking stuffers, coloring books and crayons to Mrs. Weldon. Our “red and green” dress down day was to celebrate this wonderful outpouring from our students, showing how responsive they are to the message of this most special of Seasons and how they are, as Mrs. Mungovan says, “living their faith”.

Thank you to all who came to and enjoyed our two Christmas programs. The younger children, directed by their teachers, did a wonderful job playing out their various roles and, prepared by Mrs. Withee, the 4^th and 5^th graders presented the music of the Season. All in all, our preparations for Christmas this year have been successful in creating for all of us the “Christmas Spirit”. (Pictures from our presentations can be found in this coming Wednesday’s MetroWest Daily News on the Education pages.)

From the Business Office: For those families who will be applying for financial assistance for 2010-11, you may go online now and file an application. Please be sure to advise Mrs. Sebastian in the tuition office if you are going to file so she may add your name to her list for consideration simone@stbridgetparish.org.

From the PTO:

STOP & SHOP BONUS BUCKS: Stop & Shop has a new program where they offer “bonus bucks” to schools. The school receives bonus bucks for almost all purchases made using any Stop & Shop card registered with our school. If you have a Stop & Shop card, please register your card with our school (listed by state-town) at the program’s website www.stopandshop.com/aplus. Ask friends and relatives to register their cards with our school as well! Any questions? Contact Mary Chowdhury at mchowdhury@rcn.com or 508-879-1308.

We have some very lovely serving platters and dishes in the kitchen left over from various teacher’s luncheons and such. If you sent any food dishes to these events and left them here, please come and claim them. Thank You!!!!

We are very happy to report that our “Pennies for Haiti” has been a rousing success. The children collected $863.67 to send to the Ecole du village, our sister school in Haiti. Mrs. Mungovan will continue to have a jar in her office always available if anyone wishes to add more change.

Grade 8 Calendar Raffle

As we continue picking winners, we congratulate the newest winners of the 8^th Grade Calendar Raffle they are as follows:

Dec :

            14        Julia Harvey
        15      Steven Forman

FYI: Snow Days, Mr. Rick Gallagher, Director of School Transportation, relying largely upon the Dept. of Public Works and the Police Dept., as well as personal observations, will relay by telephone, the condition of the roads, sidewalks and parking areas at the schools to Dr. Steven Hiersche, School Superintendent. The Superintendent will make the decision and notify the school principals and the media. If the radio and television say there is no school in Framingham Public Schools, that means there is no school at St.Bridget’s.

The only circumstances under which Mrs. Mungovan would make the decision to close the school would be in an emergency specific to St. Bridget School.

In case of snow please do not call St. Bridget School. We will use our IRIS (Emergency Response System) to notify all families by telephone. Also you can check the radio and television for the announcement regarding Framingham Public Schools.” As far as calling school during the day, the same procedure is followed. Since we depend on the school buses, it is the school bus director and the Superintendent of Schools who make that decision and tell us, again we would use the IRIS telephone system to notify you.

Every parent should feel free to determine for themselves whether or not their child should come to school when the weather is questionable.

Applications for the 2010-2011 school year.

For those families that are interested in an Early Registration, there will be an Early Screening for K1 (4 year olds) and Kindergarten (5 year olds) on January 11, 2010.

Open House for prospective parents will be held during Catholic Schools Week . Please feel free to bring along a friend!
