We have received many items, but we are still in need of much more.  A couple things to know:  ·          Donations are due by the 27th. ·          Donations may be brought up on the 26 th during parent/teacher conferences and can either be left at the front office or with the classroom teacher.

We're working on our 6th-annual 8th grade class magazine.   All students are contributing to the magazine, which is bound like a magazine and looks like a professional publication. In the magazine, students share their "Where I'm From" poems, giving readers a glimpse of the people, places, events, and objects that have shaped the students' lives. This is a great collection from the class of 2017 and shows the voice and personality of each student who participated!  The proceeds from the magazine benefit Sacred Heart. The magazines costs $22 per magazine. They will be available at Brown Bottle to order, or you can send me an email if you won't be at Brown Bottle this year. After the auction, I will order the magazines. If you would like to sign up for a magazine, you can contact me (sarah.rajewski@shoj.org). Parents can purchase this item for themselves, grandparents, the student, and anyone else you think might enjoy it.  After ordering, the final mag...
