Here's your chance to bring home the mother of all blowup Halloween decorations—a massive 10 foot tall inflatable 3-headed dragon!

 

The built in LED display will ensure you have one of the biggest and spookiest Halloween decorations in your neighborhood!

 

Raffle tickets will be sold at Trunk-or-Treat for $2 each or $5 for three, so don't forget to send cash on Monday! Proceeds go to support the 8th grade class.

SRLA will be collecting the excess candy from Halloween and donating the candy to The Apostle’s House, a homeless shelter that provides services for at-risk individuals or families in Newark and Essex County, including a food pantry for the community.

 

A collection bin will be in the foyer for donations from November 1 through November 14.

 

Thank you so much for your support!

Place your order early for freshly baked pies from the famous Alstede Farms in Chester, NJ!

 

Not only do these delicious pies make for an incredible Thanksgiving dessert, but they also freeze really well. So be sure to get a few pies for your Christmas holiday table too! We are pleased to announce that we will be offering these annual favorites:

All pies are $25. The deadline to order is Wednesday, November 16, so order now!

 

Pie pick up will be Tuesday afternoon, November 22 at SRLA.

 

Thank you for supporting our 8th Grade class. All 8th grade fundraisers support the special activities they get to experience in their final year at SRLA!

With the support of our SRLA community, we raised over $24,000! The 3rd Grade took top honors and will win a pizza party, and top earners in each grade will receive a dress down day.

 

A huge thank you to our volunteers Jen Mercado, Evangeline Martinez-Lago, Mario Lago and Liz Detwiler for making our wonderful balloon arch and keeping the Walk-a-Thon running smoothly, and to our awesome custodian, Johnny, for doing the heavy lifting and getting us powered up!

 

Thanks also to the parents and SRLA community for participating and cheering on our walkers!

Every year, the H.S.A. collects dues from each family to support various school activities in which all of our students participate, such as class parties, cultural arts programs, and Catholic Schools Week activities. These funds also allow the H.S.A. to show our appreciation to our teachers with, among other things, a holiday luncheon and end-of-year gifts.

 

Parents do not need to take any action to pay these dues. They have been added to each family’s Blackbaud account and will appear in the billing details of your November payment.

 

H.S.A. dues for the 2022-23 school year are:
