Happy Thursday!

Even though this is our first day in session this week, it is still the normal evening for this update!

Our Annual Calendar Raffle ticket sales are underway. As of today, we have sold just shy of 1000 tickets, which is just a portion of our goal of 1600 tickets. Our next whole school prize will be at 1000 tickets--a Shirt Day! I have also been drawing a weekly winner for a Dress Down Pass and ice cream treat.

Hot lunch is available daily in our cafeteria. The lunch menu for next week is chicken tenders on Monday, walking taco on Tuesday, pancakes on Wednesday, hamburger on Thursday, and chicken Alfredo on Friday. A question that was recently asked regarding snow days and lunches.....when we do have a snow day, that day's lunch is simply skipped. We will have whatever is originally scheduled for lunch.

NEWS WORTH REPEATING

The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a Super Bowl Sub Sandwich fundraiser to help raise money for the 7th/8th-grade Washington, DC, trip. The subs are pre-ordered. Order forms were sent home with all students last week, and one is attached to this email.

Families are invited to come to First Friday Devotions on the first Friday of every month for a Holy Hour that includes Eucharistic Adoration, Evening Prayer, and Benediction. The next First Friday is February 6 from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.

We are asking all students to sell at least 10 tickets each for the Annual Calendar Basket Raffle. Our School Calendar Raffle is a huge fundraiser for our school, with 100% of the proceeds going back to ICS. With the support of our school families, parish families, and local businesses, we are able to have 28 incredible baskets (one for each day in February) valued at over $100 each. A winner will be drawn daily through the month of February. The ticket pulled will win the prize listed on the date it was drawn. The winning ticket is placed back in the drawing pool so it has a chance to be drawn and win again (28 drawings and 28 chances to win per ticket). All winners are announced on social media (ICS Facebook). Winners will also be contacted directly via phone. $10 tickets can be purchased now through the end of February 2026.

Immaculate Conception Church is currently seeking a sacred music minister. This is a part-time or full-time position supervised by the Pastor. Responsibilities include forming and leading parish cantors & choirs in coordination with parish clergy; managing music-related administrative tasks like scheduling and budget oversight; directing training and rehearsals; maintaining instruments. The director plans and executes music for all weekend Liturgies, major feast days and solemnities, weddings and funerals, and other para-liturgical services throughout the year as scheduled. This role requires strong musical and organizational skills, a deep understanding of Catholic liturgy, and the ability to collaborate easily with parish staff, parishioners, and children.
