Dear Parents,

One of St. Michael’s greatest assets is our families. You and your children are the greatest ambassadors of the Catholic values and education taught at St. Michael’s. In preparation for our January Open House mailing, if there is a friend, neighbor or relative that would be interested in receiving an Open House invitation, please complete the attached form and return it to the school c/o the Marketing Committee. Open Houses are scheduled for Thursday, January 25th at 7:00PM, Sunday, January 28th from 10:00AM to 1:00PM, and Wednesday, January 31st from 12:45PM to 2:00PM.

Included again for the 2007-2008 enrollment period is our successful Student Referral Program. I am happy to say that last year several families accessed this program resulting in boost in enrollment. If you have a friend, neighbor or relative who might be interested in St. Michael's for their child, complete this online form or print this form, complete it and and return it to school c/o the Marketing Committee. We will send them an invitation to our Open House. If they register their child in St. Michael's for the 2007-08 academic term, you will receive the $100 credit.

With registration in mind, it’s always sad when a family leaves our school community. However, if it is for financial reasons there are some options. This year over $10,000 in scholarships were awarded to St. Michael’s students through the St. Michael's Parish Monsignor Davis Scholarship and the Scholarship Fund for Inner City Children, sponsored by the Newark Archdiocese. These programs are available to current and prospective students. Applications are available in the school and parish office.

So, get the word out – St. Michael’s has so many wonderful things to offer.

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and joyous New Year.

Sincerely yours,

Kara Noesner
Marketing Committee Chair
