March 2018

Dear Parents,

Here’s to hoping for spring! Our annual spring fundraiser, Telefunds Salty & Sweet, is March 6-20, 2018. Due to an early Easter, Telefunds unfortunately cannot guarantee a delivery before the holiday. This year’s sales are important because we have purchased new playground awnings in the amount of $4,710 so we will use our profits towards that purchase. We will offer the top three sellers the tuition credits as a thank-you for your efforts.

St. Philip’s UCC is hosting their annual Trivia Nights on March 9 & 10. In addition, we have decided to host a Parents’ Night Out on those nights. Complimentary soda, water, and coffee are provided but you may bring your own food and drinks. Please contact Kathy at 314-843-4223 if you are interested in a fun night out! The Easter Egg Hunt is also March 31st at 10:00 a.m. Thank you for your support of our St. Philip’s community as a whole.

The transition from paper to KidsReports has been pretty seamless. There have been a few errors but Jacqueline has been very proactive. We also had new WiFi boosters to help with the internet connectivity and speed. If there are any issues, please let me know.

Thank you,

Megan Dowding
Executive Director
