TUITION - 2008 - 2009
In today’s Friday Notes is next year’s tuition costs. And yes, those numbers do look familiar to you. Our tuition is NOT going up next year. Because of good stewardship on the part of the school and parish, stable school enrollment and devoted teachers/staff willing to work for less salary than in public schools, tuition costs for next year will remain the same as this year. With the price of everything else going up around us – it is a credit to the leaders of our school and parish that our tuition does not have to be raised.

WELLNESS
Children who are 2 years and older should switch to reduced-fat milk, yogurt, cheese and other dairy products, since regular dairy has higher amounts of calories, total fat and saturated fat. One percent low-fat milk or yogurt and fat-free (skim) milk contains the same amount of calcium as regular milk, so you will not short-change your kids if you make the switch.
YEARBOOKS FOR SALE
The 2007-08 yearbooks are in! A beautiful hardback book, Making Memories, is filled with pictures of students and teachers from grades pre-school through eighth. If you did not purchase a yearbook in the pre-sale, books are available in the office for a purchase price of $21.00. Please send cash or a check made out to St. Vivian School with your child’s name and homeroom. Thank you to the yearbook student staff and to parent advisors Mrs. Mary Thress and Mrs. Kim Hafele for a job well-done!
