Santa Claus is comin’ to town soon, but the Book Fair is coming sooner (11/12-11/14)!

There’s more info on our school’s Book Fair homepage: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/jpiifallfair24

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.

The Pigeon book series is quite popular; check out a preview of this cute book here! Join our Parent Group Facebook page for more previews leading up to the Fair!

 

A big thanks to Melissa Kowalski Photography for taking some great pictures of our Halloween Parade! Join our Parent Group Facebook page to access the gallery (photos will also be included in the next edition of NYCU for those not on Facebook).

Please email the office photos with any information you are able to provide about their service by Thursday, November 7th so they can be included in our Veterans’ Day assembly.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Provident Foundation, Saint John Paul II Catholic Academy will be able to start up an after-school student running club next quarter. Students who commit to participate in weekly or biweekly runs this fall through next spring will receive a healthy snack, running guide and coaching to support their training. Students will also be able to earn by their participation grant-funded running gear and even a spring running event entry to support their healthy lifestyle habits!

Do you like to run? Is an active lifestyle important to you? Do you love kids? Would you be able and available to encourage and coach a children's running club meeting once a week after school? If so, we are seeking volunteers and coaches! If you are interested in helping out, please email Mr. Muhs!
