January 3, 2011

Dear Parents:

Happy New Year! I hope you have all had a very blessed Christmas Season. You will find the calendar and announcements for January by following this link. I encourage all St. Augustine parents to call the office and have their email added to the parent mailing list so you can receive updates and announcements via email.

This month brings many exciting events. This Sunday, January 9th at 2:00, The Lewis and Clark / Betty Strong Center in Sioux City will have their annual unveiling of the St. Augustine Portraits. We are still in need of more Dancers for the event. Anyone interested in having their child dance at the opening is encouraged to call the office at 402-878-2291. Family Service Credit is available for those who volunteer.

At the end of January we will once again be celebrating Catholic Schools Week. This is the time of year when we celebrate all those things that make Catholic Schools Special. Be sure to watch for a letter later in the month listing all the events taking place to help us celebrate.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family all the blessings that can only come from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ as we move forward this year. May you find happiness and may all your needs be met in the coming days.

Thank you for your continued support of St. Augustine School.
Don Blackbird
