Parent Volunteers / Helpers Needed!
Please contact Mrs. Pick (jpick@stcecilia.net) if you are interested in donating your time, talent, or treasure for one of the following projects:
- Painting bathrooms stalls with motivational messages, artistic designs, etc. If you have a creative spirit or love painting - this job is for you! Tami Tran is the parent leading this project and she cannot wait to get started (she has ideas, pictures, etc).
- Constructing cubbies for the closets in the classrooms. We are in need of a parent volunteer to lead the charge with this project. Who is handy with woodworking, construction, etc.? The teachers are very excited to have some organizational options in the closets, at an affordable cost.
- Campus clean up day before school! We are looking to organize a fun morning or afternoon of cleaning up our campus before school begins next fall. We need to repaint crosswalk lines, spruce up the blacktop out back, and see if any furniture can be removed from the 3rd floor of the old building. Many hands make light work!
- Parent Volunteer Coordinator for the 2018-19 School Year. This person would help in any efforts with organizing parents for helping with a wide variety of items around school: drop off/pick up, room parents, classroom calendars, etc.

High School Scholarship Winners
We could not be more proud of these high school scholarship winners. Best of luck at Duchesne (Ella, Grace), Mercy (Josette), and Roncalli (Mia) next year.
Second Grade Service Project
In the country of Cameroon, Africa, children are unable to attend school if they do not have a pen.
During this Lenten season, we are collecting pens to donate to children in Cameroon.
As the second graders discovered: "One pen can send one child to school. Five pens can send five children to school. One hundred pens can send ONE HUNDRED children to school!"
Pens can be any color and any brand, new or gently used. Please drop them off at Room 207 or 208 or hang onto them and we will collect from classrooms on a regular basis until our deadline of March 15th.
