TOYS FOR TOTS COLLECTION DECEMBER 8-12
The Student Council will be sponsoring its annual TOYS FOR TOTS collection from December 8th through December 12th. In the past St. Cecilia Students have been very generous, and we know you will continue that generous spirit during this Holiday Season. Please participate in this event. You can help brighten a child’s Christmas with a gift of a toy. During this week we ask that you bring in NEW, UNWRAPPED toys. They do not have to be expensive toys, just something that will help make Christmas special for another child. Please do not bring in toys that suggest violence. The Commissioners-At-Large will be at your classroom door each morning from 8:00 - 8:10 collecting toys. Thank you for your support. Remember that Christmas spirit!

UNIFORMS
Parents, please check your child's uniform label. If your child has accidentally brought home another child's uniform item, please return it to the correct child or the school office.
