improved car window cling that mounts on your vehicles back window.
It measures about 5 in diameter and is a great way to let others know

school colors), with our Rocket logo.
The PTO is offering (1) free window cling per St. Mary family; and if you
would like additional ones they are available for purchase at $5.00/piece.

Majlinger at ctmx67@yahoo.com.

PTO October Events = Rocket Run, Halloween Hoopla & Box Tops:
On behalf of the St. Mary PTO, we would like to thank everyone who braved the cold
weather and joined your St. Mary School family at the Rocket Run last week. We would
like to thank the volunteers who distributed water & snacks for the students at the finish
line. On a different note, we couldnt have asked for better weather for the Halloween
Hoopla! We had a wonderful turnout and hope that the kids & adults had a great time!
Thank you to all parents that decorated their trunks and/or handed out candy to the
kids. Finally, the Box Top collection is over for the month of October. Once Tonya
Robinson calculates all of the tops, we will announce the class who has won the pizza
party for most box tops turned it. As always, thank you for supporting your St. Mary
PTO.
ITS BACK!
SAVE YOUR CANS & BOTTLES and
BRING THEM TO ST. MARY SCHOOL
The PTO bottle drive is in full swing
and we appreciate your continued
participation. Please bring your cans
& bottles (cans & bottles only please)
that have been accumulating in your
garage and leave them at St. Mary
School. We will be more than happy
to take care of them for you.
There is a large green container
marked Bottle Drive in the back of
the school, and all proceeds will benefit Pennies for Playground - Restoration. This
year we need to replenish the mulch, and all proceeds will be used for that. Tell your
family, friends and even neighbors and spread the news. Our bottle drive will continue
through the end of the school year.
If you have any questions, please email PTO Secretary, Maureen Brinker, at
pomo157@comcast.net. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
