Altar Server Schedule Principal’s News: The students did a GREAT job at their Christmas Program this past Monday night. Thank-you to everyone who came to support the students, and to enjoy the wonderful evening. Thanks also to the teachers and parents who assisted the students as they learned their songs. Special thanks to Mrs. Susan Welgat, Mrs. Michele Wentworth, Mrs. Kari Clark, Mrs. Abbie Hamilton, and Mr. Nate Nichols for all their extra efforts to make the evening so enjoyable for everyone. Lucy Ahasic and Kylie Welgat deserve special praise for their solo parts. I also want to acknowledge the students who shared their instrumental talents prior to the concert: Trivian Massens (piano), Ava DeWolfe (piano), Eleanor Burkhart (piano), Avery Yepsen (piano), David Mock (viola), Camden Murphy (piano), Mya Mirocha (piano), Rachel Brown (piano), Regan Coombes (piano), Natalie Yepsen (piano). Our school has many musically talented students who are brave enough to get in front of people to perform. If you weren’t able to attend this program, mark your calendar now for the spring program on May 4th. The annual Visitation Cookie Walk was another success! We actually had to turn people away, as we were completely sold out within an hour of the doors opening. Thanks to Susan Welgat and Liz Blachinsky for organizing the event again this year and to everyone who baked cookies. Hopefully we can get more cookies next year and do an even bigger business. The cookie sales raised $560 for the Roof Fund. Please turn in all calendar money, unless you are planning to sell calendars over Christmas break. We will be pulling names for 2015 calendar winners when school resumes. Remember: Each family is REQUIRED to sell at least 5 calendars. Page 2 of 2 VCS Newsletter Cheer Clinic Thank-you . Christa and Alyssa Fisher would like to thank all the girls who participated in the cheer clinic last week. Thirty-eight PreK through 5th grade girls participated in this fun annual event. $35 left over from the pizza was donated to the “roof fund.” Second Semester Helping Hands Schedule Prayer List Tom Ahlgren Seaso Ben Brown Clayton Carr Miss Cromien’s Uncle Leo “Grandma Dee” (Seyller) Jimmy Dison Paul Donovan Annie Eastman Dan Martinkus Margie Martinkus Barry Miller Paula Nichols Benjamin Fitzgerald Perva Ruth Webber Austin Whitmeyer Seminarian, Danny McShane 5 Special Intentions For the Future of our School For our Silent Prayers ***Please contact the school office if you would like someone added to our Prayer List.
