Aug 10th Parent meeting

Hello families! Just a friendly reminder of our meeting coming up at my residence this August 10th from 10am-12pm. I have had 3 families RSVP. If you plan to be here please post under here and include what potluck dish you plan to bring. Just a friendly reminder that the whole family is welcome. Not only will we be going over the upcoming year including group jobs and activities, but also getting to know each other more! I am thinking the Mom’s can mingle and go over the planning for the year and Dads mingle as well (and supervise their small children if they have them).
Hope to see you there!
Blessings,
Tash
Hope you can join us!

Registrations and email list. Please read!

Families,
If you’d like to opt out of emails please post under here “ opt out” or email Emily or I.
We need to update our registrations/website for 2019-2020 and I noticed many may be getting emails from our group who’ve moved or can no longer attend.
Returning members, to register again for a subsequent year, please note re-registration is not necessary. Just pay the yearly registration fee $20 for St. Teresa’s members and $25 for non-St. Teresa’s members. Brandie Granke is our Treasurer and will need the registration fee by our first meeting September 6th in order to do annual re-sticking purchases. The fee pays for our much needed paper goods/coffee/craft supplies/and donation for the church allowing us to utilize the PLC.
Many Blessings!

March First Friday

For March’s First Friday we will be working with the teens and younger children weaving St Bridget crosses to honor her february Feast Day.
We have a few Months left and still need members who aren’t sure they paid their dues to please pay them on our main website. The Church is very generous to let us rent the facility and we’d like to give them a gift at the end of the year and keep affording disposable eatery/crafts. Please contact Brandie Spencer Granke if you aren’t sure if you paid.
Thinking ahead, next Month in March with Lenten season coming , we will be doing an annual Stations of the Cross. We’d love for your Child(ren) to participate by reading a station of choice.
Please post under here with what you will be bringing to eat this Friday and where you can volunteer.
See you soon!
Blessings

February meeting

For February’s meeting our group will be celebrating Saint Valentines ( did you know there are 3 Saint Valentines 💖💖💖?!). The Children will be exchanging valentines. Please have them decorate a box ( shoe or cereal boxes work) for their valentines.
If you haven’t been able to volunteer a table or job, here’s your chance. We need a k-4th, toddler and middle school help and a few parents to help clean up after. Crafts are pre-planned and virtue work. We are looking for new games for the middle schoolers/high schoolers to play. If anyone has any apologetics or board games can you please bring them?
Please post a dish you are sharing below as well as the names of your children participating in the exchange. I’m gathering the names from our FB page and this page and will post it Tuesday so families know how many to make.
Thanks!
