Happenings in the Library— Kim Kaye

Here is a view of our Dia de los Muertos, (Day of the Dead) and All Souls display. Dia de los

Muertos begins on November 1st and ends on November 2nd. It is a two day holiday honor-

ing the spirits of the deceased. Thanks to all who sent in names of their loved ones to remem-

ber. Also, many thanks to Mrs. Sterling for helping put our window together.

Congratulations to Mrs. Hrosik's 5th grade class for

earning the most genre badges overall. They earned

over 60 badges in Mystery, Historical Fiction, Poetry,

Biography, Informational and Fantasy. Ask your child

what genres they read.

October was "Put your Nose in a Book" month. Here's a look at some of our friends who

were caught with their nose in a book.

Did you know that over 1,600,000,000 people around the world live in poverty? Nearly 15% of the people who

live right here in Porter County don't have enough to eat every day.

As we begin to plan our Thanksgiving gatherings, EDGE will take a close look at physical and spiritual hunger

and what the Church calls us to do about it during this very special EDGE night. All 6th-8th graders of the par-

ish are invited.

November 14, 2015. 6:30-8:30. Old Saint Paul School. RSVP is appreciated.

Edge Night: Hunger Games— Cathie Dull

Congratulations to the 7th grade girls’ volleyball team for advancing to the

CYO Championship game this Saturday. They breezed by their arch rivals

from St. Thomas More in two sets 25-15, and 25-9.

Maddie Rowley led all servers with eight points. Ally Drenth closed out set

one with the last two serves, while Bella Jardenil nailed a jump serve to close

out set two.

The girls would love to pack The Diggz* on Saturday with lots of fans to

drown out the St. John the Baptist fans. As soon as the time for game is an-

nounced we will pass it on to our loyal supporters. Thank you to those who

packed the gym this past weekend! Let’s go Panthers!

*The Diggz is located at 4590 West 61st Avenue

Volley for the Cure Update— Coach Lindsey

The total dollar amount was incorrect in last week’s LINK. The total should have been

$3856.85. Also in thanking the many people who supported us, I forgot to personally thank

our beloved teachers & staff for purchasing the pink t-shirts and wearing them on our $1 Pink

t-shirt day. Also thank you to those teachers and staff members that baked and donated deli-

cious goodies for our bake sale. Finally thank you to these wonderful women that gave up

their Friday evening to attend our volleyball game and not only support our players but the

three women we honored. Again thank you to everyone who contributed, I can’t wait to plan

for next year’s Volley for the Cure.
