Happy New Year
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas break. It was a much more quiet, simple and humble Christmas this year for many of us. I like to think of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus on that first Christmas morning as the perfect example of the quiet, simple, and humble Christmas for us to remember.
Happy New Year! We have so much to look forward to in 2021! We are starting off with NTI this week, transitioning back to in person instruction the week of January 11.
Please remember: that starting the week of January 11, morning carpool time is being pushed back to 7:25.
Our Friday 12:30 dismissals will continue through January. The administration along with Father Dave and the school board will be evaluating the continuation of the Friday 12:30 dismissals.
After taking some time for much needed rest over the Christmas holiday, I am returning to school with so much hope and excitement. We have accomplished so much during the past five months of adjustments, and I know we are only going to “take off” through the rest of this school year. Our mission of challenging our students to excel academically and grow spiritually is at the forefront of our goals for 2021. We’ve got this! Here we go, Vikings!

PTO Fundraiser- Virtual Viking Gala 2021
The PTO is gearing up for a virtual fundraiser in lieu of the Viking Gala that is traditionally held in odd years to support initiatives around the school. Please see messages about the needs of the committee for your involvement with Silent Auction Items and/or Corporate Sponsorships. Thanks in Advance!
Rebecca Sivori & Lee Van Natta
Viking Gala: Auction items
We are looking for auction items that can be used in a virtual silent auction. We are challenging each family to secure one item for the Silent Auction. We are not suggesting you should buy something, but rather think about your network—both personal and professional—who might be willing to donate an item or service to help enhance your child’s experience at St. Albert the Great. This typically can be done through one phone call, text, or e-mail. Some ideas for auction items include:
Restaurant/ Boutique Gift Cards
Golf Outings
Spa Packages
Tickets to Sporting Events
Signed Memorabilia
Wine Tastings
Vacation Rentals
Sports Camps
Lessons (sports, music, etc.)
Jewelry
Pool Membership
Tickets to Churchill Downs
Excursions/Lodging in Other Cities
Designer Purses and Bags
Baskets of Assorted Themed Items
Dental and Cosmetic Enhancements
Photography
Contact Rebecca Sivori (502-819-0286 rebecca.sivori@gmail.com) or Lee Van Natta (502-931-6622 leeellen_7@yahoo.com) to arrange pick up of your items.
Viking Gala: Corporate Sponsors
Additionally, we are seeking corporate sponsors who can help provide a gift matching opportunity for our "fund the need" project. If you have a business and would like to be recognized on social media and on our online bidding platform as a corporate sponsor, please contact us to further discuss potential donations.
