  • This year, our school will be participating in the BoxTops for education

    program. My name is Amanda Rumberger. I'm thrilled to be the Boxtop

    coordinator for Our Lady of Lourdes. Clipping Boxtops is an easy way

    to help our school to buy its needs. Boxtops are each worth 10 cents and

    they quickly add up to real cash for our school. This school year, our

    school's earning goal is $1000.00.

    To help our school, just look for pink Boxtops on products, clip

    them, and send them to school. For more information on the Boxtops

    products for education program, including a list of participating

    products and our school's progress, visit www.BTFE.com. Be sure to

    become a member to receive exclusive coupons and recipes and learn

    about extra ways for our school to earn.

    I hope you're excited with everything we can do with this year with

    Boxtops! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me

    at, 570-4923102 or [email protected]. I'm here to make

    our school's Boxtops for education program a huge success this year.

    Thanks for Your Help!

  • CODE OF CHRISTIAN CONDUCT

    The Catholic Church and this Catholic School recognize parents as the primary

    educators of their children and that the education of students is a partnership

    between parents and the school. The students' interest in receiving a quality,

    morally based education can be served if students, parents and school officials

    work together. Our school is committed to providing an environment that

    educates, nurtures, and supports students according to the basic Christian

    principles of charity and love of neighbor. Everyone involved in the development

    of children and youth— parents/guardians, teachers, administrators, family and

    friends—is expected to behave in accordance with these principles.

    It shall be an express condition of enrollment that the students behave in a manner,

    both on and off campus that is consistent with the Christian principles of the

    school. These principles include, but are not limited to, the policies, principles or

    procedures set forth in our school’s handbooks.

    It shall also be expected that the parents/guardians of a student follow the standards

    of conduct that are consistent with the Christian principles of the school. These

    principles include, but are not limited to the policies, principles or procedures set

    forth in our school’s handbooks.

    Our codes of conduct for members of our school community were developed to

    promote a learning environment based on reverence, respect, discipline,

    responsibility and excellence. As a partnership, we all need to understand the

    importance of a good working relationship.

    In most cases, differences can be resolved. In some rare instances, however, if, in

    the opinion of the administration, the partnership is irretrievably broken because of

    the severe nature of the conduct, the school reserves the right to disenroll a family.

    The purpose of this policy then is to provide a reminder to all members of the

    community of the expected conduct, so that we may continue to thrive, progress

    and achieve in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and respect.

    Our Christian principles provide that all members of our school community:

  • Work courteously and cooperatively with the school to assist the student in

    meeting the school’s academic, moral, and behavioral expectations

    Communicate and respectfully express concerns about the school operation

    and its personnel in a constructive and Christian manner within an

    appropriate setting

    In order to support a Christian and safe school environment, the following

    behaviors are inconsistent with the Christian principles of the school and,

    therefore, are unacceptable:

    Physically or verbally intimidating a member of the school community

    Defamatory, offensive or derogatory comments regarding the school or any

    of the students/parent/staff at the school on any social media sites (Any

    concerns are to be addressed through the appropriate channels)

    Abusive and/ or threatening electronic, written or verbal communication

    Disruptive behavior which interferes or threatens to interfere with the

    operation of the classroom, office, or any other area of the school property

    Tuition Sense

    Tuition Sense is a merchandise certificate program that provides

    families the opportunity to earn credit toward tuition at Lourdes

    Regional School.

    By participating in the program the child can receive 3% credit toward

    tuition for every dollar of certificates purchased.

    There is no "out of pocket cost". When you purchase certificates you

    receive "dollar for dollar" exchange.

    The ideal situation is to have parents, extended family members, friends,

    and neighbors purchase certificates designating your child to receive the

    credit.

  • The tuition sense office carries a variety of different local stores and

    many national brand stores. You can also place special orders for

    other national brands.

    Do you purchase online? We have a variety of different gift cards

    which you can use; such as Amazon, Nook by Barnes & Noble,

    Zappos, iTunes and many more to choose from.

    It makes "cents" when you use Tuition Sense.

    Any local stores wishing to participate in the program can call the

    Tuition Sense office 644-0375 (Ext 116)

    Hours are: Every day school is open from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

    Important Reminders When entering the building, please, report to the Main Office. No one

    may go to a classroom without the Principal’s permission.

    Community Aid Clothing Bin

    We are pleased to inform you that we now have a Community Aid

    Clothing Collection Bin here at Lourdes. It is located to the far right as

    you enter the parking lot. Community Aid is a faith-based non-profit

    registered charity with the primary purpose of raising funds for

    distribution to non-profit charitable organizations. We will be paid by

  • the pound for everything we collect here at Lourdes. You may bring the

    following items: clothing, shoes, blankets, bedding, linens, accessories

    (belts, scarves, hats),and draperies. They do not want any household

    "hard" items such as lamps or coffee makers. Just soft items, shoes, and

    accessories. They sell the donated clothing in their thrift stores located

    on the strip in Selinsgrove (the old Value City building) and

    Mechanicsburg. All items will be sold at the most affordable price to

    allow our neighbors a place where they can shop for their families. We

    will also be receiving some clothing vouchers after the first quarter to

    issue to those who need a "helping hand." If you are in need, please let

    us know. The bins will be serviced regularly as we do not want them to

    get overloaded. Start cleaning out your closets and dropping off your

    unwanted goods as soon as possible. Thank you for your support of

    Lourdes Regional School!

    Sincerely,

    Jacqueline O. Kerris

    Director of Development
