In This Issue
Greetings!

Calvary is having its first ever Buddy Day on Friday, October 4th!  You can bring your friend to school with you for the day or a part of the day.  The public schools in our district will be closed, so this is a great day for friends to come visit or just hang out with you. 

Please let the office or your teacher know if you plan to bring a buddy, and have your buddy's parent or guardian fill out the form below and bring it with on Buddy Day.

Little Reminders
Reminders
 Calvary's Lost & Found is located in the hallway between the Parish Hall and Calvary Club.  Be sure to stop and check periodically that none of your child's belongings have ended up in the bin.  At the end of each month, the items will be gone through and donated if they do not have a name.

Eating Utensils - Please provide any spoons or forks that your child may need to eat his/her lunch.  Calvary is unable to provide flatware for lunches.
