GOOD DEEDS - Nancy Donahue, founder of Birthday Buddies, assembled birthday bags with 5th grade donations. Twenty-three bags were stuffed with cake mix, candles, books, gift cards, toothbrushes, socks, and small gifts for a yet-to-be determined birthday.
In addition, the 5th grade disbanded Girl Scout Troop donated $175 to Birthday Buddies. Together with the Fulton Festival monies, the total cash contribution is nearly $400.00. Sweat equity investments by 5th grade students, priceless.
SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES – The second grade is sponsoring “Thanks for Giving”, a drive for food/health/ clothing supplies for Waite House. All items need to be at school by Nov. 25th. Remember those less fortunate this holiday season.
The seventh grade is assembling baskets of food for 25 needy families that their Thanksgiving might be as bountiful as ours.
The Girl and Boy Scout Troops are sponsoring Christmas Shoeboxes. These boxes are being assembled for St. Phillip’s after school program for children. The Girl Scout and Boy Scout programs will fill the shoeboxes, wrap the shoeboxes, and deliver them. We need empty shoeboxes and the items to fill them. We will have boxes for donations in the offices at both campuses. We will collect items Dec.1-12. Any help you can give us will be greatly appreciated. Any questions, please call Nancy Greer at 612-920-9285.
Here is a sampling of what we need:
Empty Shoe Boxes
Toothpaste/toothbrushes
Soap
Combs/hair brushes/barrettes, etc
Socks
Mittens
Small toys/books (these can be gently used and in nice condition, as well as new)
Candy
Christmas ornaments

LOST AND FOUND – all the “lost and found” items from the Upper Campus will be displayed in the hallway by the office. Items need to be claimed by the owner by Nov. 14th or they will be sent to Mary’s Place.
ELECTION – What an exciting Election Day we had at Carondelet! Mr. Nutter's and Mr. Subialka’s students prepared ballots, “I voted” stickers, and registration sheets for the student body. As Minnesota declared its majority for Barak Obama, so did Carondelet. The voting resulted in an Obama victory of 229 to 81 for McCain. On Wednesday, the sixth graders put together math charts to portray the results.
UNIFORMS – It was terrific to see the students in uniforms on Tuesday. The wearers of shorts were grateful to have a couple more days of shorts weather.

Target - Remember Carondelet receives 1% of all money spent at Target through the Take Charge of Education Program. The money collected will be used to bring speakers to the school and for extra programs on both campuses. The school ID for Carondelet is: 9088.
