Important Dates:

Sunday, January 31- Start of Catholic School’s Week! 8^th Grade Pancake Breakfast and Open House

Valentine’s party will be held on Tuesday, February 9^th at 2:00. I sent home a list of all the students in the class so your child will be able to address his/her Valentine Cards. Please help your child decorate a shoe box or a small paper bag for his/her Valentine cards. I know some kids love to be crafty and others do not, please know the box or the small paper bag does not need to be too fancy. 

Please continue praying for Rhyan, her family and the medical team. Rhyan finished her 5^th round of chemo on Wednesday.

I want to share some information about a fundraiser to raise money for pediatric cancer research in honor of Rhyan. As most of you know, Rhyan’s dad, Brad, is an assistant basketball coach for the Missouri Mens Basketball team. At the Mizzou game on Saturday, February 13 at 2:00, there will be free admission with a cash donation of any amount. All proceeds benefit pediatric cancer research. For more information visit MUTigers.com/RallyForRhyan

At the Tiger Team Store you may purchase a Mizzou hoops and Rally for Rhyan t-shirt, to wear to the game. These shirts were designed for the game on February 13. They have adult and child sizes. The Tiger Team Store is located on the north side of the Faurot Football Field.
