Friday 11th January 2008 Newsletter No 16
Class Masses
This year the Feast of the Epiphany was during our holidays so instead of a whole school Mass, each class will celebrate Mass individually. Class 2 were the first to visit Church and were a credit to you this Thursday as they were so reverently behaved. Class 3 and 4 will be celebrating Mass at 9.15am next week on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. You are all welcome to join us.

Schools Building Fund
Just a reminder: letters will be going out about your contribution to the Diocesan Schools Building Fund. We have been invoiced from Salford Diocese for £700, which has to be paid by the end of January 2008. Prompt payment would be much appreciated.

Admissions
Our numbers are up this year, so if you have a child due to start nursery in September, please pick up an enrolment form from the office as soon as possible as Calderdale need to know the numbers by Easter at the very latest. If you know of any other parents who are interested in enrolling their child here at St. Joseph’s, I would appreciate it if you ask them to get in touch. I will make myself available to show them around the school and answer any queries they may have.
Blessed Trinity PTFA
Blessed Trinity College have their PTFA meetings on the First Tuesday of every month at 7.30pm in the school on the St Hilda’s site. It is an open forum and any parents can attend if your child is due to start at the college this year.
