MARY OF LOURDES HOME AND SCHOOL

It’s hard to believe another year has come to an end. The kids are so excited for summer vacation to begin. I think it’s safe to say we all are.

We’ve had a very good year and I would like to thank everyone who helped the Home and School in any way to achieve this year’s goals. We are truly blessed to have such an awesome group of individuals who can get together to accomplish so much and have a great time doing it. As parents, we are all members of the Home & School. It’s up to us to make each school year a fun, memorable learning experience. We’re always looking for new ideas to have fun and educate.

Here is a financial statement of this past year for the Home and School. If you think of, or see something over the summer that would be a good idea for us, feel free to contact any of the Home and School board members listed below. Your thoughts and ideas are much appreciated.
MOL Home and School Budgeted Expenses 2006-2007
Our expenses are divided into 6 categories:
1. MOL School Budget $31,000.00
This goes directly to the school for operating costs.
2. Scholarships $ 3,000.00
This is divided between MOL current students ($2000), and MOL alumni (two high school seniors get $500).
3. Activities $ 1,500.00
These seven items range from $100-$400 each: Assemblies, Fun Days, St Nick, Graduation, Open House, Spring Social, Catholic Schools Week.
4. Staff Appreciation $ 4,000.00
This includes money for longevity recognition, farewell gifts (if necessary), teacher luncheon, and teacher spending money. Teachers are given $100-$200 to spend on their classroom needs. Younger grades are given more than older grades. This helps defray some of the costs that teachers spend out of their own pockets for their students. Receipts are turned in to the office and teachers are reimbursed from their accounts.
5. Curriculum $14,000.00
This includes $300-$600 each for Accelerated Reader, NET Retreat for Middle School, and Christmas Programs. It also includes stipends for Middle School extra curricular coaches. Field trips are budgeted at $10 per student for Elementary and $15 per student for Middle School, plus $35 for each 5th grader for the trip to Long Lake. Bus transportation for in-town events is budgeted at $1670. The Technology fund gets $1000 from this account.
6. Wish List This year=$6725.00
Monies we raise over and above our budget are available to purchase wish list items for the school. This year’s items bought from the wish list include: Kindergarten classroom supplies, Knowledge Bowl equipment, a DVD player for Middle School, supplies for Family Reading Night, geography materials for Middle School, phy ed awards, art room organizers, a pitching machine for MS softball team, a refrigerator for the teachers lounge, a field trip for Elementary school to “Charlotte’s Web” movie, money for Playground Fund, and money for Technology Fund.

Have a safe and Blessed summer!
