“Bowling for Service Men and Women” flyers went home yesterday and will be available on our website. This is a fun
way to raise money for a good cause. This is our co-sponsored fundraiser with the Knights of Columbus and our Student
Council! All proceeds will go towards Operation Welcome Home Maryland! Registration is due by January 23 rd, but we
wanted to send it out so students can encourage their families to join us at bowling or make a pledge towards our fund
in your child’s honor!

From the Principal:
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break! I was very busy and was able to visit with all of my nieces and nephews
and see the love of Christmas through their eyes.
As we move into another busy month, we also face a greater possibility of winter weather. Please know that I will always do
my best to have the message sent out between 5:45 and 6:15am. Some technical glitches get in the way. As a general rule we do
follow Baltimore County for their weather related announcements. I know our parking lot can be very frustrating as ice seems to
never melt, even with the assistance of copious amounts of salt. Then, when we finally get warm enough or the salt melts the ice, it
runs right in our main paths of walking. A special concern is the pre-k/Angels at Play stairway and door. During winter weather
times, and when ice is present please use the 4 tan doors for arrival for our ½ day pre-k and for Angels at Play dismissal to prevent
any ice related accidents. Signage is present to remind you as necessary.
Two of our major projects this year have caused lots of commotion this week! We are several steps closer to full iPad
implementation and our new fire alarm system is almost complete! There is always something happening at our school!
