Grades K5-5th are busily preparing for our upcoming SPRING CONCERT! This year's theme is: DISNEY. Get ready for some amazing surprises and fantastic Disney music that will touch the hearts of all ages! This year's Spring Concert is scheduled for Wednesday, May 23rd at 6:30pm. Students are asked to
arrive at church no later than 6:15pm. There will be a dress rehearsal on May 23rd at 1:15pm for anyone unable to attend the evening performance.
Dress Code: Participating students are encouraged to dress up in anything Disney!! Please no jeans or sports clothing.
**Please note: The Spring Concert is a graded event and only an excused absence will be allowed. This includes sickness or another performance/event. A parental note/email sent in advance is required for a student to be excused. Since it is a graded event, the excused student will receive a packet of music homework to accomplish for their grade.
The 8th grade Legacy Committee has only 5 Krispy Kreme cards left! Only $20 each! Please consider helping us reach our goal….we are almost there! Please follow the order form or email Mary Frances Smith directly at [email protected]. Thanks so much!
Thank you to the many volunteers who serve our school, classrooms, and teachers! We are blessed that you offer your time to serve our community and make our school great! As a token of our appreciation, please stop by the school office during May to pick up a small gift that we hope will brighten your day as much as you brighten ours!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to the Holy Apostles Home and School Association and all the wonderful parents who spoiled us last week for Teacher Appreciation! We are so grateful! A spe-cial thank you also goes out to epic MedSpa for donating an AMAZING massage therapist for the day! It was certainly a bit of heaven!
Thank you to all the families who have returned the tuition agreement for next school year. If you have not done so yet, please return the tuition agreement by Friday, May 25th. Just a reminder, if you want to pay tuition with automatic withdrawals, we need a new authorization agreement every year.
From the Library—Several of our Library books have gone missing this year as children have
taken them to read without checking them out. Please help your children look through their shelves and return all Holy Apostles books this coming week. All books MUST be returned to the library by May 29. I will be emailing parents if books are not returned. Thank you for your help in keeping our collection intact.
The new Holy Apostles School Playground is almost here! The Holy Apostles Home and School Association is pleased to announce: the construction of a new, age-inclusive and state-of-the-art playground will take place this July. Thanks to the generous contributions of so many through the HA Auction Fund In Need, Charger Chase, and many many school and parish members, we have raised $103,625 of the $110,000 needed to fully fund this project. The existing playground has served the school, parish, and community for more than 20 years, however, it no longer meets the needs of our expanding student population. The structure and flooring materials will be removed just after the close of the school year and a new and exciting play space will take its place in early July. The new design will include 5 slides, climbers, custom bridge, store front panel, giant play web, and spinning climber to name just a few. A major change that so many have asked for is the "poured-in-place" rubber surfacing that will replace the woodchip surface. The playground was designed for the enjoyment and safety of our community today and many years to come. We are almost to our fundraising goal and ask you to prayerfully consider making a contribution to the playground fund by contacting the Playground Committee Chair; Julie Logan at 414-841-9303/[email protected] or by making an electronic contribution through the MYHANB.org website, mark your contribution PLAYGROUND.
Our Home & School Association (HSA) supports the spiritual and educational mission of Holy Apostles School. We
financially assist school needs and provide adult, student, and family
activities. For a full description of the
STOCK UP ON SCRIP FOR SUMMER—The weather is dreary, but summer will be here (hopefully soon), and it can be easy when you use Scrip cards for shopping and gassing up your car. Taking the kids to the movies, store, out to dinner, for ice cream treats, to buy yard games? We have Scrip for all this and more! Pay yourself back by shopping with Scrip and earn a credit toward tuition! Summer Scrip dates -- dates for June and August will be announced soon, so you can place orders and receive cards during the summer months. July 16th is the first day of Vacation Bible School, so mark your calendar because we will be sell-ing Scrip during registration that morning.
Memorial Scholarship—Gerald Floryance and his family have established a $500 scholarship in memory of their loving wife and mother, Carol Floryance, who passed away December 30, 2012. This scholarship will be awarded to a student who will be attending Holy Apostles during the 2018-2019 school year. Those interested in applying for the Carol M. Floryance Memorial Scholarship are asked to complete the application which can be found on the school website. The scholarship will be awarded the weekend of June 2nd. Applications should be postmarked by Wednesday, May 23, and sent to: Holy Apostles School Office—Carol M. Floryance Memorial Scholarship 3875 South 159th Street New Berlin, WI 53151

All Tiger and Cub Scouts from Pack 93 should meet outside on Friday, May 18th at 7:30 pm in the field north of the Holy Apostles Cemetery for the annual Pack Pow Wow. Plan to park only on west side of

Please dress for the weather, but bring your scout's neckerchief and slide in a bag to exchange it for next year's colors. Lastly, bring your own lawn chairs, blankets, and flashlights. If it rains, please meet us in Lofy Hall at the same time. Thank you for another great scouting year! Please contact Mike Can-
