School of the Madeline
 6/17/2008 AVAILABLE STUDENT OPENINGS We still have openings in first, third and fifth grades. If you know a family who may be interested, please have them call the office. BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION PROGRAM School of the Madeleine will be participating in the General Mills sponsored Box Tops for Education Program. This fundraising program is a great way to earn money for our school when you purchase everyday household products from the grocery store. Box tops will be deposited in a special box located in the school’s office. For more information about how you can help our school with this exciting new program, please see the flyer attached to this newsletter. I thank Julie Grooms, Kirsten Silva, and Jen Michna for organizing this fundraiser. ESTABLISHING SUPPORTING PARISHIONER RATE To establish a supporting parishioner discount rate for future school years, you must use your weekly collection envelopes. If you pay monthly or bi-monthly, you must turn in an empty envelope to demonstrate your consistent attendance and participation in the parish. This must be done for one year (July to June) prior to establishing a supporting parishioner status. See the tuition scale for further information.
