Attention School Parents Festival Week Drop off/Pick up Members of the parish will be setting up tents for the parish festival. We will not be
able to use the parking lot west of the school starting Tuesday, September 12th
through Monday, September 18th.
Dropping your children off starting Tuesday, September 12th: Drop your children
off on Walnut Street between St. Louis Place and Helene Street. Your children can
then walk in front of the rectory, church and church office to the school. Please do
not drop your children off directly in front of the school. We need to leave this
space for bus drop off.
Pick up in the afternoon: Please use the parking lot across St. Louis Place from the
church. If it is possible for your child to ride the bus or carpool you may want to
consider this option. The fewer cars we have in the parking lot the safer it will be for
our children. If the tents are down by Monday afternoon, September 18th, we may
be able to use the parking lot west of the school. Please check this lot first on the
18th.
Festival & School Volunteers Anyone who will be volunteering at school or helping out with the festival (food
preparation, making turtle soup, setting up and taking down tents), Tuesday-Friday,
September 12th-15th and on Monday, September 18th, from 8:00am to 3:30pm,
is asked to park either in the parking lot in front of church or on one of the side
streets. The school children will be using the street in front of the parish office
and school for their recess due to the tents being put up on the back parking lot
on Tuesday. St. Louis Place will be blocked off between Main Street and Walnut
Street during the recesses. Also, all volunteers who will be helping with the turtle
soup preparation or any other festival preparation which will involve being in the
school building during school hours are asked to first stop in the school office to sign
in. Volunteers who are helping with selling the soup in the activity center do not
need to stop in the office first.
Turtle Soup Sale -September 11th-17th Turtle Soup will be on sale this week in the Activity Center Foyer
starting Monday, September 11th from 12:00pm-8:00pm, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday, September 12th, 13th & 15th, from 8:00am-
6:00pm, Thursday, September 14th, from 8:00am—8:00pm, and on Saturday,
September 17th, from 8:00am-12:00pm. Please enter through the Activity
Center doors only.
The soup will be sold for $16.00 per gallon jar, $9.00 per half gallon jar,
and $5.00 per quart jar. The soup will also be available through the week at
Schmidt’s Bakery during their normal business hours. On Sunday, September
17th, during the Festival, the Turtle Soup will be available for sale until it’s gone.
FOOD NEEDED! EGGS, POTATOES, ONIONS, CARROTS and ALL DRY
GOODS, COFFEE and SUGAR are needed by Monday

and the necessary items for the soup are needed by
Monday morning.
