Reserve The Date For The Little Flower Run/Walk

On Saturday October 16 Little Flower will be hosting a Run/Walk.  The event is going to be sponsored by many businesses and supporters of Little Flower.  The event will be a registered and sanctioned event, therefore serious competitors are encouraged to participate.  We would like to thank Karla Schlueter and all of the volunteers that have donated their time, talents, and efforts to make this event a success.  They are in need of all of the assistance that they can get.  If you are interested in volunteering please contact Karla at 636-578-1627.

Documentary of Archdiocese To Be Shown!

The documentary, “Mission to Educate—A Faithful Past, A Faith-Filled Future,” is scheduled to be shown at the Missouri History Museum on September 9 and 10 at 2:00 pm.  This concludes the Museum’s “Faith in Film” series, and was also planned in conjunction with the Vatican Splendors Exhibit to which many of you have taken or plan to take student field trips. The exhibit runs through Sept. 12.  We are very pleased to have yet another opportunity to share this amazing story, which very much illustrates an important aspect of St. Louis History, as well as that of the Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis!

How Often Do You Shop Online?
My guess is that like myself, many of you shop online frequently.  Little Flower School has partnered with an organization called School Mall.  This company will allow you to shop at many of your favorite merchants, while earning money for our school.  Information was home on Tuesday March 2 in the Tuesday Packet.  If you are interested please fill out the information and return it as soon as possible or stop by the office to complete a registration form.

Easy Fundraising For Little Flower

How often do you use Search Engines?  My guess is that you use them often.  You can raise money for our school while completing your searches.  Use www.goodsearch.com and you can support our school.  They give 1 cent for every search that is made.  Over the course of a year this could translate to hundreds of dollars for our school.
