Dear St. Raphael School Families and Friends, 

Happy November 11th! Today, as we honor our Veterans, let us take a moment to reflect on the sacrifice and bravery of the men and women who have fought to protect our freedom. We are incredibly blessed to live in this wonderful country, and we give thanks for those who serve and have served. Let’s set aside a few moments today to offer our prayers and gratitude for our Veterans and all those who continue to courageously defend our nation. God Bless America!

Mark Your Calendars for the Annual Auction!

Believe it or not, we’re already gearing up for our Annual Auction on Saturday, February 22! This year’s exciting theme is Rio Carnivál, and we can’t wait to come together once again to celebrate our amazing community while raising support for our students. This will be an event you won’t want to miss!

To make it a success, we need your help! If you own a small business or have connections with local establishments, would you consider donating? We’re looking for gift certificates, theater tickets, sports events, vacation homes, timeshares, and other items to help make the evening truly special. Every donation helps!

Important Reminders:

• Parent-Teacher Conferences: Conferences start next Wednesday, with early dismissal at 12:00 pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Students not picked up by 12:15 pm will be sent to After School Care, and a drop-in fee will apply.
• Thanksgiving Break: There will be no school the following week to allow our families to spend quality time together and give thanks for the blessings in our lives.

Thank you for being part of the St. Raphael School community. We look forward to celebrating gratitude, kindness, and faith with all of you throughout this special month.
