Dear Parents,

We will be celebrating homecoming with five fun dress up days next week, please look below for more information. It will be fun to see all the beach wear, crazy hats/socks, neon, sports team apparel and spirit wear!

As the weather cools, please support your child in bringing, coats, jackets, or a fleece to stay warm at recess. Students are expected to go outside for recess when weather permits.

It has been a wonderful month of September filled with joy, learning and faith. Thank you for your continued partnership in your child’s or children’s educational experience as we help them learn The Ledger Way.

God Bless, Steven Kelnhofer

Love and Logic Tip of the Week

Listening and using empathy is more important than fixing the problem.

We are very excited for Homecoming week!  It is a chance for each class and each student to show their school spirit and personality! In an effort to enjoy and celebrate at SMSA appropriately, respectfully and in accordance with school expectations, we ask that students enter into the week with common sense and goodwill.  As a reminder, “dress up theme” clothing must be modest and follow the guidelines spelled out in our handbook. Please click here to view the dress code policy and refer to “General Dress Guidelines” for information on non-uniform days.

Any student who chooses to not participate in the dress up days must arrive to school in their school uniform.

Monday, October 7, 2019 – Dress up theme: Beach Wear

Tuesday, October 8th – Dress up theme: Favorite Sports Team Day (worn with uniform pants or jeans with no holes)

Wednesday, October 9th – Dress up theme: Neon Day

Thursday, October 10th – Dress up theme: Crazy Hats and Socks Day (worn with uniform pants or jeans with no holes)

Friday, October 11th – Dress up theme: Ledger Pride – Spirit wear and jeans without holes

-All System Mass at Holy Family beginning at 8:45 a.m., all are welcome.

From now until Friday, October 4, 2019 the Milwaukee Catholic Herald invites all families of 6th graders in Catholic school and/or religious education to receive a FREE one-year PRINT and ONLINE subscription to the weekly newspaper.

Why 6th grade families? Because this is an informative time for the family. Parents are nurturing and guiding their children as they enter the teen years, and we want parents to have a resource that focuses on developing the same life-long values being instilled in school and the home.

In every issue of the Milwaukee Catholic Herald, we learn, grow and share our faith as a Catholic family. What better way to bring a family closer together than with a free, one-year subscription to the Catholic Herald?

The Sacramental Preparation Program will begin with First Reconciliation at the end of September.  Before the first, and every meeting continuously throughout the year, reminders will be placed in the e-Ledger.  Please make it a priority to check the e-Ledger to ensure that you do not miss any of these important meetings.

Registration opened on July 7, 2019 and the last day to register is October 10, 2019, no late registrations will be accepted.
