PTA December Newsletter

Race for Education

On behalf of Our Lady of Hope PTA, we want to thank all of our parents who helped make our “Race for Education” on Wednesday, November 9 such a success!  We are grateful for all the label names you sent in, your contributions, and those of you who helped out during our Race Day activities.  Thank you so much!!  Please check out the website, under Race for Education for Race Photos, an article written by two of our eighth grade students and all of our prize winners.

Our classroom winners enjoyed their Limo Lunch on Monday November28th.  The 9 students were treated to a Limo ride courtesy of An Affair to Remember. The red carpet was rolled out for the students and they along with Sister Paula, Mr. Cafagna and Mr. Rose enjoyed lunch at Friendly’s. Congratulations to those students!

We will be having the Pancake Breakfast reward on January.

We are excited to report that we have raised over $40,000 so far from the contributions of our sponsors.  However, please note: it is still not too late to send in a donation for our “Race for Education.” We are accepting donations up through Friday, December 9.  We are excited about all of the benefits our children at Our Lady of Hope Regional School will receive because of the response of our donors, these funds will allow us to continually enhance our technology programs.

We will be having our annual Santa’s Secret Workshop on December 5 & 6.  This is a great time for the students to shop for family members.  You should have received your envelope through school.  If you would like to volunteer please contact the PTA.  Please keep in mind that to participate you must be fingerprinted and CAP certified.   Here is the schedule for the students:
