Hello St Al families! We are so close to having sports back in our lives! CYO is doing their best to pivot. Therefore you will see that the spring offerings have changed and we even have summer sports. Also, CYO has adopted a new program that marries with PLACT (Play Like a Champion Today). The program is called Parent Like a Champion and is meant to support the training already in place for coaches and referees; with the collective goal of promoting a positive sports culture. . Parent Like a Champion is an online workshop that is now mandatory for parents of children participating in CYO. You may register for the workshop via Team Sideline as you would for any other sport. There is no fee for the training. You may make a donation if you wish. To learn more about the program visit the Play Like a Champion website.

Thanksgiving Dinner Delivery – Give back to St. Al’s!
Tomorrow (Nov. 20) is the last day to place your order!
From the Desk of the Librarian
Happy Native American Heritage Month! During the month of November, we’ve been reading stories that celebrate the history and traditions of our nation’s first peoples. As we all know, our land wasn’t discovered so much as it was conquered and, with that turmoil, the native people who lived here first have been given a side note in history. Our goal this month is to share the stories and rich histories of our country’s first caretakers and to amplify their voices so we can appreciate all we have learned from them. One word we have learned in our read-aloud is Otsaliheliga (oh-jah-LEE-hey-lee-gah), the Cherokee word for “we are grateful”. And, one of our favorite stories so far has been Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story by Kevin Noble Maillard. Don’t be surprised if your primary grade student is interested in making some fry bread soon!
