PUBLICITY

Dear Parents:

We are looking for some great pictures and stories of our SCS students doing all of the

wonderful things that we do at our school to share with the world (or at least the greater

Lake View area)!!   In an effort to promote our school, we are looking  for stories to submit

to the Hamburg Sun and the Angola Penny Saver.  We would ask that if you take pictures

 of our kids on field trips, in the class room, on the athletic fields, etc.

Please email those along with a brief summary of the pictures to:
communications@southtownscatholic.org
to the attention of Beth Berry or Jenna Barney

Thanks,

                 Steve Bojdak, SCS School Board President.
