News-leader will publish their ‘Best of the Ozarks’ edition.
This year Springfield Catholic Schools will be on the
list, so please send in your vote for our schools.
We don’t want to be runner up to some other school.
Let’s let the Springfield area know that Springfield
Catholic Schools really are the best!
THIRD ANNUAL ALTAR SERVERS MASS-The 11:30 am Mass on Sunday, November
16, will honor St. Agnes Altar Servers. All servers are invited to vest in albs
and process in with the priests. There will be special seating for the servers.
Family members are invited to join servers for a free lunch in the Youth Center
(basement of the Retreat House) following Mass.
SCRIP-Reminder- No order Monday 11/24. Go to shopwithscrip.com and click what’s new for a full list of retailers with holiday bonus rebates. Time for holiday pictures, parties, and events. Dress your family for the festivities with scrip to Macy’s, Dillard’s, Talbots, JCPenney, Children’s Place, and Kohl’s. Consider Payless or Shoe Carnival scrip for new shoes too. Wal- Mart and Walgreens scrip will be perfect for photo developing. Grandparents wondering what to buy? Make gift giving easy for them with gift cards purchased through scrip. They may order through your account. It saves them fighting the crowds, buying the wrong size, and earns money for our school. Happy Holidays!
2008-09 YEARBOOK-Please forward any pictures from field trips, class parties and other school clubs or functions by either: Printing or saving them to a CD & forwarding it to the school office or if you have just a few photos, email them to sa.200809yearbook@gmail.com (Resize any photos to be emailed to 600x800 pixels or smaller prior to sending.)
