Thank You!  Thank you to all the students and families who participated in yesterday's Masses for Catholic Schools Week!  It was nice to see all the MDS students in their uniforms.  You certainly made your presence known among the parishioners.  A great job was done by all the altar servers, greeters, speakers, families bringing up the gifts and those parents running the Information table.  Thank you again!

Spring Fundraiser:  The Spring Fundraiser, sponsored by Great American Fundraising, will kickoff on Wednesday, February 1, and run through February 15.  There are many wonderful new products that make great gifts for those springtime occasions such as Easter, Mother's Day, First Communion and Graduation.  Product delivery is tentatively scheduled for sometime before Easter break.    We are still looking for one or two people to chair the Great American Spring Fundraiser.  For doing all the required work as chairperson, you will receive all 25 hours, or 12.5 if there are two co-chairs.  If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Panganiban at mpanganiban@madonnadelsasso.com as soon as possible. Thank you!

Presidents' Day Holiday Weekend:  Just a reminder that there is NO SCHOOL and NO EXTENSION on Friday, February 17 and Monday, February 20.  School will resume on Tuesday, February 21.

Canned Food Drive and Stuffed Animal Donations:  For community service and social awareness, Student Council and the 8th grade Religion students will be conducting a canned food drive.  They will also collect gently used stuffed animals.  The donations from both of these collection drives will be given to the Salinas City School District to provide assistance and comfort to the over 1,300 homeless students in Preschool-12th grade. Please drop your canned food donations in the bins in front of the office. Students may give the stuffed animals to their teachers.  The canned food and stuffed animal drive will start January 31 and run through Friday, February 10.  Thank you in advance for your generosity.
