Mini American flag ($1) sales will end on Tuesday, November 11th. The proceeds will be donated to the Regional Military Museum.
Students who donated to the Catholic Charities food drive may add red, white, and blue accessories to their school uniform on Tuesday, November 11, such as socks, bows, headbands, ties, etc. Please remember that this is a Mass day, so all accessories should be appropriate for church.
🥶 Cold Weather Attire Reminder ❄️:
In cold weather, heavy coats must be worn over the regulation sweatshirt, jacket, or sweater. Heavy coats should be free of athletic logos, cartoon characters, etc. No denim or camouflage allowed at any time.
Heavy coats that are not a dark color, such as navy, brown, or black, must be removed when entering the classroom.
The school logo MUST be applied to all outerwear except for heavy coats. All outerwear MUST be purchased through Jake’s (excluding heavy top coats).
Solid white long-sleeve shirts may be worn under the uniform shirt in the event of cold weather.
Athletic sweatshirts should only be worn on the day of a game.
The time for Santa’s Secret Shop is here! The shop will open for business at St. Bernadette School during the days of December 1-5 in the Youth Meeting Room. You are welcome to join your child for shopping, or have a parent volunteer assist your child. All of the following information will be going home in your child's test folder on Wednesday (11/12): Santa Secret Shop Schedule, Shopping List, and Gift Tags.
To kick off iGive, any student who has last year's iGive shirt (Cafe Collaboration) may wear it on Tuesday, November 18, with jeans/uniform bottoms and tennis shoes/uniform shoes.
The Talent Show will be on Friday, November 21, at 8:30 a.m. in the gym. Parents and other adult family members are invited to attend and sit in the bleachers. We ask you to stay for the duration of the show rather than enter and exit before and/or after your child's performance. This becomes very distracting for the performers, who are already nervous to perform in front of their peers. We appreciate your understanding in this.
The St. Bernadette School Choir will present its 21st Annual Live Nativity on THURSDAY, December 11, from 6:15 to 7:45 p.m. in the St. Bernadette Church Sanctuary. Our casting is complete for our 21st Annual Live Nativity for 2025! Thanks for your patience. All of these practice dates and our performance dates are on our school SBS Google Calendar and will be repeated weekly in our Panda Post Newsletter. Please see the choir section in extracurricular updates for more information.
Aftercare is asking for donations of paper towels and disinfecting wipes if you have any to spare at home.
We are excited to begin planning for this year's #iGiveCatholic campaign. We look forward to sharing more info soon!

Remembering Our Loved Ones in November
During the month of November, St. Bernadette School will take time to remember and pray for our loved ones who have passed away. We will also pray for all the saints in heaven — especially those who might be our grandparents, great-grandparents, or other special family and friends. We will keep these loved ones in our daily prayers throughout November.
Families are invited to share the names of loved ones who have died by filling out this form: 👉 Prayer Intentions Form All of the names will be placed on our Prayer Intentions Wall in the hallway as a special reminder to pray for them together as a school family and at our school masses for the month.
Thank You to Our Wonderful Parent Subs! We are so grateful to all of our parent substitutes who stepped in this week! Your willingness to help made all the difference. We truly appreciate your dedication to our school community and your support in allowing our teachers the time to be with their families and recover while they were ill. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🐼
