2/4 Raven Rundown

 
February 4, 2022
 
Principal's Update
 
Dear Parents,
There are many tools we use at SRLA to keep our students safe and our school healthy, and pictured is just one of them, our overnight room sanitizer!
 
The ultraviolet sanitizer is a smart machine in that, should someone during after-school hours inadvertently open a classroom while it is undergoing sanitizing, the machine automatically turns itself off!
 
Stay safe and dry this weekend!
Go Ravens!!!!

What a Great Week!
 
We had a wonderful week celebrating SRLA, recognizing the people who make our Catholic school so special, and coming together to give help to our wider community.
 
From socks and PJs....
 
 
 
...to celebrating with our Eighth Grade...
 
...to helping out our furry friends.
 
St. Hubert’s rescues innocent animals from abuse and neglect daily. The donations made by the SRLA family will allow St. Hubert’s to expand their pet pantry, assist training classes and continue rescuing every day!
 
SRLA has been declared a generous friend to St. Hubert’s to serve as a reminder of just how our contributions support a more just and humane world in which all animals, and their people, can thrive.
 
Thank you, SRLA Families!
 
Student Council Pays It Forward
 
SRLA Student Council would like to thank everyone who has supported our fundraisers so far this school year. Through this support, we were able to make donations of $125 each to:
 
  • Table to Table (Hasbrouck Heights)
  • MEND (Essex County, parent charity to Pierre Toussaint Food Pantry)
  • Newark Salvation Army (in memory of Tim Middleton)
  • Ronald McDonald House (Long Branch)
 
Student Council looks forward to offer future fundraising opportunities!
