Save the Date - Santa Margarita Catholic High School

General news
Dear Santa Margarita Family:
We hope all of you enjoyed a festive Thanksgiving and are transitioning into the
Christmas season. We had a wonderful opportunity to show prospective new
students and the community our beautiful campus and wonderful school at the
Open House on November 21, 2004. This year's event was as, if not more,
successful than last year. Shortly after you receive this issue of Wings, the faculty
and staff will be presented with their Christmas bonuses courtesy of last
spring's Golf Marathon and the generosity of the many who supported that
event. Please keep checking the SMCHS web site for updates on this year's Golf
Marathon on June 7, 2005.
The Welcome Parent BBQ provided an opportunity for 230 new parents to
acquaint themselves with our campus and establish new friendships with other
families. The SMCHS Steel Drum Band provided entertainment and performed
superbly.
We welcome Dr. George & Jennifer Lasezkay and Jim & Cathy Roby as our
newest members of the Guild Executive Board. They have already provided us
with new insights and fresh ideas to help us serve the school and you. A huge
thank you to Patty Brand for leading the Gift Wrap program! Her tireless
dedication and boundless energy helps make this program successful.
We strongly encourage you to become active and participate in any of the school
events and programs. Parent support and participation is an integral part of the
success of SMCHS and your student. One of those events is the annual
Christmas Production on December 2, 2004 presented by the Performing Arts
Department. A few of the other ways to participate is the Mothers Club and
Moms In Touch.
SAFE HOMES is an ongoing Guild sponsored and administered program to
promote safe and drug/alcohol free places for our students to gather. Each year
all parents are mailed a SAFE HOMES brochure and commitment card. A list
of all parents who have made this commitment for this school year has been
mailed to all SMCHS families. If you did not receive a pledge card and would
like to be included in this program, please contact Delene and Jim Hoff at
949-888-2075.
