Weekly Gift Card/Scrip ordering
The holidays will quickly be approaching. Purchase Gift Card Scrip for
friends, family, the Giving Tree, and more via the Tuesday envelope. Go

http://school.stsimon.org/scrip--escrip. Both an order form and
release form to have your Scrip sent home can be found on this page.
Return your signed release and order form on Wednesday when you send
your child's envelope back, and your order will be ready the following

eScrip is a way to donate to Saint Simon when you make a purchase from
participating vendors using your credit, debit, merchant or grocery
card. Our goal is 100% participation in the Electronic Scrip (eScrip)
program. Do your regular shopping, and eScrip will forward a
contribution back to Saint Simon at no cost to you! To enroll, go to
the eScrip website at http://www.escrip.com, and use Saint Simon's id

FAQ page or contact Karen Carrie.

Fr. Murray T-shirt Orders
In January, St. Simon School will host the 6th Annual Fr. Murray
Basketball Tournament. Fr. Murray t-shirts in this year's new design
are on sale now through December 16th. Shirts are only available
through this order process, they will not be sold at the tournament.
The t-shirts are approved for the St. Simon P.E. uniform. If you have
any questions regarding the t-shirts, please feel free to contact
Robbyn Denzel at robbynd@comcast.net. Please print and return the
attached form to your child's homeroom (it is o.k. to order multiple
shirts for siblings with one form and one check).
Christmas Program –Camel Lot
The annual St. Simon Christmas Program will be held Thursday, December
17. The 1:15 p.m. show is for friends, siblings, grandparents and
other visitors. Because it is difficult for some people to climb the
stairs, there will be some chairs available on the floor. The 7:00
p.m. show is for parents only. We hope that you will abide by this
request so that all of our parents will have seats and will be able to
see. The Parish Center doors will open at 6:15 p.m. Please do not
save seats. More information will follow.
St. Simon Teacher Fund
As 2009 draws to a close and you are mulling over possible year-end tax
deductible donations, please consider putting the St. Simon PAG Teacher
Fund at the top of your list. The Teacher Fund reimbursement for
teachers is $1800 and it helps reduce the financial burden for new
teachers getting credentialed, and to better cover the increases in
classroom curriculum material costs, etc. As such, we could use your
donation (of any amount) to help us offset this year's expenses. We
rely not just on the Walk-a-thon, but on direct donations year-round.
Your gift in not only tax-deductible but will also make a direct
impact in continuing the academic excellence here at St. Simon School.
The teachers and PAG TF committee thank you for your consideration.
Any questions, please contact agilmoreallen@yahoo.com.
2010 Father Murray Basketball Tournament Sponsorship Form
With the Fr. Murray Memorial Basketball Tournament approaching, January
20th-24th, we are looking for sponsorships to help offset some of the
costs of the tournament as well as let us give any profit back to the
athletic department. We have 4 different levels and we are hoping
that the St. Simon parents can help – either with family businesses or
friends’ businesses. This will help underwrite the cost of the
spaghetti dinner, trophies and programs. We want this tournament to
continue for years and we need your help to make sure it is a success.
SSS Junior High and St. Simon Parish Edge Group
Saturday, Dec. 5th from 7-9:30 pm all student in 6-8 grade are invited
to participate in a Youth Movie Night hosted by Mrs. Gremett and Mrs.
Liberty. In the spirit of Advent, we will be watching the movie The
Ultimate Gift, eating popcorn, participating in some discussions, and
small group activities.
No need to RSVP, just plan on attending!
We will meet in Simon room at 7pm! See you there!
Report Card and Sports
Report cards went home yesterday. If you anticipate your student will
be joining a non-St. Simon sports team before 3/15 (when the Trimester
2 report cards come out), save yourself some time by making a copy of
this Trimester 1 report card before you sign & send it back! Often
times, the team requires a copy of your student's most recent report
card.
