Page 2 of 2 THANK YOU to all of council members who secured the amazing prizes on our list. We appreciate your time and effort! We would also like to thank our sponsors, the school council, volunteers and St. Monica school staff. M. Manalo was a great DJ, as always! We also appreciated C. McIntyre and E. Weseloh’s help in coordinating the prize distribution to the winners. Also, thanks to Tish G. for collating the detailed prize lists in Excel and to Luana F., Vilma M., and Sandra S. for counting money on the day of the event. Last, but not least, we always appreciate the students and families who help to make the day a great success! As we near the end the 2014/15 school year, we would like to say a sad farewell to Fatima C. (Parish Rep.), who brought us updates from the parish and connected with Father Jan. Fatima also held various positions over the years. We are also sad to say good-bye to Melanie K. (Community Rep.), who contributed as a Parent Rep. and assisted with the redesign, writing and editing of this newsletter. Both of your contributions will be remembered and appreciated! We wish you all the best in your future endeavours and hope our paths cross again! CONGRATULATIONS to C. Briganti’s class who raised the most money per class for the dance-a-thon – $1,049! As a special thank you, the school council will be providing a pizza lunch for the class before the end of the school year. Enjoy! Best wishes for a safe and relaxing summer! Please consider joining the school council next year – it is a great way to get involved in your child’s education at St. Monica!
