The Positive Opportunity Program (P.O.P.) is in full swing with the second quarter’s theme being “Respect.” Students are being recognized for exhibiting Christian behavior towards one another, teachers, and visitors in the buildings. The children do things without being asked because they realize the value in living Jesus’ call to love one another. The P.O.P. students of the month of November from the east campus are as follows: primary—Joachim Ahearn, intermediate—Brianna Herard-Exorphe, junior high—Antonia Roberts. From the west campus: primary—Stedmon Ihejirika, intermediate—Oscar Walker, and junior high—Ashley Gardner. We display all the children’s certificates on the P.O.P. bulletin boards.

The Winter Moneyland Raffle winners are as follows: $2,500 Grand Prize—Caldonia Taylor. The winning ticket was sold by the Berryhill Family. The $1,500 Prize—Teresa Aroyo with the winning ticket sold by the Francisco Garcia Family. The $1,000 Prize—Corey L. Crawford with the winning ticket sold by the McInnis Family. Congratulations and thank you for supporting the school by supporting this raffle. 

The students wrote letters and cards to the members of our Prayerfully Adopting Program. These people are actively serving our country in the military away from their homes. We remember them, pray for them, and thank them for their loyal service to the United States of America. The soldiers have written back saying how those wonderful sentiments and drawings have helped sustain them during their stay away from home.

It is with great sorrow to announce the passing of the parents of Poleate children from the east campus recently. In a sense of Christian charity, we had a $1 Dress Down Day this past week with all proceeds going directly to the Poleate family as they deal with this tragedy. Should you want to contribute to the family, please drop off any donation at either school office.

As we move through Advent, we at Christ Our Savior know that maintaining a Catholic identity is vital to our school’s mission. We participate in weekly Advent prayer services in addition to our weekly masses. Parishioners are invited to attend these services and masses at any time. Also, the Catholic students will have had a chance to receive Reconciliation this past week. As well, our students have religion class every day and our teachers infuse a Christ-centered focus into all the subjects they teach.

At the writing of this article, the Christmas Concerts will have taken place this past week at both campuses. The School Band will have also performed on the same evenings prior to the Christmas Concert. We hope that all families enjoyed the enchanting evenings of Christmas music.

The Winter Moneyland Raffle concluded this past Thursday, following the east campus Christmas Concert. Winners will be announced in this article in next week’s bulletin. Thank you for supporting this Raffle in particular and the school in general. 

This week, we celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe by attending a special mass. The students love to participate in reading, singing, and leading the students in prayer.

May you continue to have a sacred Advent.

Dear Parents/Guardians/Students:

Looking ahead to a brighter future seems like the only way to maintain a positive outlook as a sports fan in Chicago. So let it begin with the Cubs and the impending arrival of Japanese phenom Mr. Kosuke Fukudome.

The funeral arrangements for Mr. Herbert Poleate, the father of our east campus students Julius and Travon Poleate, are as follows: visitation at Leak’s Funeral Home, 7838 Cottage Grove, Chicago, from 6:00 – 10:00 P.M. on Friday, December 14.

Mass of Christian Burial: Saturday, December 15 at St. Jude Church in South Holland. There will be a half-hour visitation with family prior to the funeral at St. Jude’s from 11:30 A.M. – Noon. The funeral mass will then be held at noon. Please keep the Poleate family in your prayers during this difficult time. Funeral arrangements for Mrs. Janet Poleate are still pending.

In a Christian act of charity, Christ Our Savior will sponsor a special dress down day next Thursday, December 20 for one dollar. Extra donations are welcome. As we have done in the past, all proceeds will go directly to the Poleate family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Julius and Travon and their family during this difficult time.

Tuition is due by Monday, December 17th.

The Christmas Concert this past Tuesday was a fantastic sensation. Mrs. James and Mr. Mooney helped prepare the children with wonderful music. I also want to thank all the teachers and aides for helping make the show a success. There was an omission in the program—first grade teacher Mrs. Durbin’s name was accidentally left off of the program. We apologize for that mistake. Thanks to all the parents and families for braving the cold and ice to come out and see the children.

Please label all clothing items (sweaters, sweatshirts) along with lunch bags and any other item that can be left behind. We have a growing collection in the Lost and Found. These are expensive items and we want your children to have them.

Our Positive Opportunity Program continues to honor all sorts of wonderful things the children do in and around the school as we all know they do. The following are the November Students of the Month: junior high student—Ashley Gardner, intermediate student—Oscar Walker, and primary student—Stedmon Ihejirika. When students receive a P.O.P. certificate, their names are entered into a chance to become the Student of the Month should their name be picked. They receive a certificate, win a small gift, and have a chance to have Dessert with the Principal. We are very proud of all the children who receive these merits. All P.O.P. certificates are displayed for the month in the junior high trophy case.

Raffle News:
The Winter Moneyland Raffle will take place tonight at the east campus during the Christmas show. Their show starts at 7:00 P.M. just like ours did. Winners will be published in next week’s newsletter.
Sacrament News:
Students in grades 3-8 will have the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation tomorrow, Friday, December 14 at 1:00 P.M. if they are Catholic.

Christ Our Savior Catholic School

We have the opportunity this year to participate in the Archdiocesan School Improvement Program (SIP.) This program ensures that Christ Our Savior is constantly improving and growing in our capacity to meet the needs of today’s students as well as fulfill the mission of Catholic education.

We realize that the gathering of data and using it to measure the success of our programs is a critical aspect of measuring our effectiveness. Constituent groups who are affected by the school’s programs, such as students and parents, have participated in a survey recently. Also, those who are affected by program implementation, such as teachers and administrators have also participated in a survey. We are working hard to develop and implement a customized, research-based School Improvement Plan, which is becoming a universal expectation of all schools.

The self-study is another component of the SIP. This process allows for thoughtful consideration of present realities and best practices. During this process, we will take a close look at our mission, philosophy, and vision for the preferred future of the school. The development of an informed plan is the goal of the SIP. We will be working this entire year to complete this process and will keep you well informed as to the status periodically.   

On another note, our Prayerfully Adopting Program is working with the K of C to sponsor a drive to help support our military. The list includes: hand sanitizer, bug spray, baby wipes, toothpaste/toothbrushes, deodorant, soap, beef jerky, games, puzzle books, playing cards, religious items, stamps, phone cards, batteries, sunglasses, pens and pencils, lip balm, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, sunscreen (SPF 30+), and  paperback books. There will be a box in the office clearly marked for you to deposit items. The drive ends December 10.

With God’s Blessings,

Mr. Matthew Lungaro

Dear Parents/Guardians/Students:

Please see the “School Families’ Special Letter” that also went home today for very important information regarding Christ Our Savior Catholic School.

Tuition envelopes went home last week. Tuition is due by December 15.

The Christmas Concert will take place this Tuesday, December 11 at 7:00 P.M. in the gym for grades K, 1, 3, 5, and 7 along with the Band Concert. We hope that all families can come and enjoy this enchanting evening of Christmas music.

Please know that all parents/adults are to check in at the office before going to a classroom. This is a safety issue. Students are not allowed to return to their classrooms once they are dismissed. This is a safety issue as well. Thank you.

Please label all clothing items (sweaters, sweatshirts) along with lunch bags and any other item that can be left behind. We have a growing collection in the Lost and Found. These are expensive items and we want your children to have them.

Students in grades 3-8 will have the opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation next Friday, December 14 at 1:00 P.M. if they are Catholic.

Legislative Action Alert!
How does $32 a student to pay for health and safety measures in school sound? That is what is at stake! Please contact the Governor’s office. If the Governor signs the recently passed SB 783, which opens the School Safety Block Grant to nonpublic schools, each of our Catholic schools will receive roughly $32 a student annually to pay for health and safety measures—which could include background checks, fire safety equipment, etc.

Please call or use the link below to express your concern to the Governor. Identify yourself and the school you are from and ask him to “Sign Senate Bill 783 so that nonpublic schools can receive reimbursement for mandated health and safety measures. The health and safety of our children are as important as any!”

The Governor’s numbers are:
1-217-782-0244 in Springfield
1-312-814-2121 in Chicago
