The Green Team is asking for your help.  The grounds of Holy Spirit require a lot of manual labor to keep them up.  The Green Team is hoping for 30 volunteers to help on Saturday, October 21^st from 9:00am-12:00 noon.  Mulch and pea rock need to be spread on beds at 5 different locations on the campus. All the shrubs in the courtyard and along the perimeter of the church need to be trimmed. Please bring rakes, shovels, trimmers, wheelbarrows.  A small tractor with a loader or a back hoe would be very helpful!  Even one-two hours would be helpful, if you aren’t able to stay the entire time.  If you have questions, please contact Pat Riester at 507-398-5640.

Please open the attachment and read about our staff honored for her "Spotlight on the Spirit."

A reminder that there is no school or extended care on October 19th and 20th.  

The Knight's of Columbus' Spirit Run is quickly approaching.  The date is set for Saturday, Oct. 28.  The school helps the KC's by providing the runners an assortment of goodies for after the race.  Many runners have stated that the Spirit Run has the best post-race treats ever! We are in need of your help.  Could you bake something for the Spirit Run?  A dozen cookies or bars is all we would need.  You can bring more, but you don't have to.  If you don't bake, could you send in a bag of Halloween candy to put out on the table.  You don't have to bring a huge bag, but just one bag would be great!  The KC's help the school out financially  and support us by doing a big pancake breakfast in January.  Please let us know how you can help out!  Contact Cheri Block with questions or donations at cblock@rcsmn.org
