“I am the vine, you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.”

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Parent(s),

Our last PTG General Assembly for the 2011-12 school year will be held next Monday, May 14 at 7:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Results from the WCEA (Western Catholic Education Association) Accreditation Team visit and ACRE (Assessment of Catechesis/Religious Education) Test results will be presented. The 2012-13 School Budget will also be shared. See you there!
 
We would like to thank all families that have already registered for the 2012-13 school year. We still have a number of families that have not informed us if they intend to register their child(ren). If you are one of these families, we ask that you please contact the school office and let us know so that we may plan accordingly.

If you have already registered your child(ren) we are now ready to begin setting you up on the FACTS tuition payment program. Please note that if you would like to pay your tuition over 11 months, payments must begin in July. If you would prefer to make 10 payments, they will begin in August. Please see Rowena at the school office and she will complete this process with you.

Enrollment is still the top priority here at the Academy. Let’s work together and continue to make our enrollment grow. This is the one area where we can make the greatest impact. This, in turn, will make the Academy an even better place for our stu-dents, your children. We have established a Marketing Team of parents and parishioners. We meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the school library. We need more parents on the team, so please come and join us next Wednesday, May 23 at 6:30 p.m. in the library. This is a great way to earn service  hours.

God Bless,
Mr. Steve Stutz and the St. Michael Academy Faculty and Staff

PARISH NEWS

Parish Car Raffle:
All families should have received 5 raffle tickets for the St. Michael Catholic Church car raffle several weeks ago. This raffle will be held in conjunction with the parish auction on Saturday, May 19. A portion of the proceeds from this raffle and auction are going to be given to the Academy. All families are asked to sell/purchase the 5 - $10 tickets in support of the parish for all the support it has provided to the Academy. For every 5 tickets sold/purchased families will receive 4 service hours. In order to receive the service hours you must turn in the completed stubs and $50 to the Academy office (not the parish office) on or before Thursday, May 17 at 3:30 p.m. Please stop by the office if you would like to sell/buy additional tickets to earn additional hours.
