PRAYER INTENTIONS
We pray for Mrs. Bujak's father who passed away last evening. May God bring comfort and peace to Mrs. Bujak and her family. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
We lift up the Rueda family (Carlos, grade 6). Mrs. Rueda's grandmother, Carlos's great grandmother, is in the hospital. May God's healing hand bring health and a quick recovery.
We also pray for the Dizon family (Antonio and Ashton, grades 7 and 2). Mrs. Dizon's mother, Antonio and Ashton's grandmother, is also in the hospital. We pray for God to health and strength.
Mrs. Varela (mother of Javier, grade 7) was recently in the hospital. Please pray for her recovery and health as well.

STARRY, STARRY NIGHT - HSA AUCTION
We have a theme for this year's Reach for the Stars Auction: "Starry, Starry Night"! Our school's biggest fundraiser is Saturday November 9. Tickets are $75.00 each. Remember that between the Payday Sweepstakes Raffle and the Auction, each family is required to raise at least $150 ($75 for single parent families). Auction items include Principal for the Day, Crazy Carnival with the Principal (make Principal Zelenka ride with you on any ride for 1 hour during the Carnival!), sports memorabilia, vacation homes, jewelry, gift baskets and many, many others! Mark your calendars for November 9 and come to ICS's "Starry, Starry Night"!
HSA MEETING
Please come to St. Michael Hall next Wednesday October 9 for our Home and School Meeting at 7:00 p.m. Attendees will have the chance to win a $100 gift card to Sunshine Uniform Company - just in time to stock up on cold weather gear before the cold weather arrives! Families will also receive information about upcoming events and have the opportunity to meet with other parents and families to help plan, coordinate and offer game changing tweaks to our HSA happenings. Childcare for ICS students will be available. Families in attendance will also receive one commitment hour.
PAYDAY SWEEPSTAKES RAFFLE
Please remember that one of our two biggest fundraisers of the school year, our Payday Sweepstakes Raffle, officially begins Friday October 4. Any family who sells / buys all 15 tickets by tomorrow will have their family name entered into a $200 bonus drawing. Then, beginning next week and running until the Auction on November 9, Monday - Thursday winners will receive $100. Friday winners get $250. The Grand Prize, pulled at the Auction, is $1000! Maximize your chances of winning by selling / buying and submitting your tickets as soon as possible!
PHONES, TABLETS AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Please encourage your child(ren) to keep close tabs on any cellphones, tablets and/or any other electronic devices that they may bring onto the ICS campus. Remember that these items are not permitted to be in use during the day unless for academic purposes and only with the permission of a faculty or staff member. As these devices are extremely expensive, please remind students about appropriate usage and storage. ICS is not responsible for any device that is lost, stolen or broken.
IRISH ATHLETICS
Congratulations to our ICS Irish Soccer and Volleyball teams! Did you know that ICS is the only Catholic school in the Hillsborough Catholic Youth Sports League to offer both Varsity and Junior Varsity teams for both Soccer and Volleyball? Also, did you know that our ICS teams have performed extremely well thus far this year? All teams have notched victories. Varsity Soccer is even in the midst of a two game winning streak as they enter postseason play next week. Volleyball begins postseason play today. GO IRISH!
ATTENDANCE AT IRISH ATHLETIC EVENTS
While we greatly appreciate attendance of students and families at our games, students in attendance must be supervised at all times. The safety of our children is always paramount, not just during the school day. Athletic contests are public events and involve other schools and therefore families outside of the ICS family. As such, the ICS campus does not maintain the same level of security that it enjoys throughout the day. If you plan to attend a game, or if your child would like to support his/her school, please be sure to accompany your child and ensure his/her supervision.
