 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.

"HEALTHY
EATING ON THE RUN" |
| As
our lives get busy, we tend to eat out more than we should. Here are
a few tips to make it a |
|
healthier Challenge: |
|
1. Take time to look over the menu & check for healthier options.
Many restaurants have "light"
|
|
choices |
|
2. Always eat half & take home leftovers for the following day.
|
|
3. Stay away from entrees that are fried, buttered, creamed or
crispy. Choose entrees that are |
|
baked, broiled, grilled, roasted or steamed. |
|
4. For a lighter meal, order a side salad amd an appetizer. |
|
5. Boost the nutrition by adding a tomato, lettuce, peppers and
other vegetables. |
|
6. Choose a baked potato over fries. Ask for the butter or sour
cream on the side. |
|
7. At the salad bar, pile on the dark green lettuce, carrots,
peppers and other vegetables and light |
|
on the dressing. |
|
8. If going to a buffett,
fill up on salad, vegetables and fruit. |
|
9. Order pizza with vegetable toppings like mushrooms, peppers,
broccoli, onions and spinach. |
|
10. Drink plenty of water before, during and after your meal. |
|
11. Share dessert with someone if you feel the need to indulge. |

Emergency School Closings |
|
|
|
| When adverse weather
conditions or other emergencies develop necessitating
the closing of schools, |
| information is posted on our
homepage at www.southtownscatholic.org and on
|
| Channel 2, 4 & 7 and WBEN Radio
930 AM. |
| When it becomes necessary to close
the Lake Shore or Frontier Central Schools, |
| the decision will be made between
6:00-7:00 am. |
| The
announcements will be made as soon thereafter, depending on the
individual station policy. |
| When EITHER of these
school districts are closed, all public and non-public schools'
served by these district |
| transportation department are
affected. Therefore, when either the Frontier Central or the
|
| Lake Shore Central School District is closed,
Southtowns Catholic School and Preschool are closed. |
|
|
Note: Parents and students should
consult one of the TV stations indicated above every
morning during |
| the winter months.
School may be closed or delayed for other reasons as
will, i.e. boiler breakdown, |
| broken water
main, power failure, etc. |
|
| Occasionally, adverse
weather conditions develop during the school day. While
all school officials are |
| reluctant to send
students home early, it sometimes becomes imperative to
do so. Parents are asked |
| to instruct their
children and inform the school of alternate site
delivery arrangements under such circumstances. |
|
| If parents wish to pick
up students during a school day, the normal procedure
for early release will be |
| used, i.e. the parent or
adult acting on behalf of the parent will sign students
out as per the early release |
| procedure. No student
will be released to an unauthorized individual including
neighbors, relatives, |
| friends without the written authorization of the parent
or guardian. |
|
| On days when school is closed, there are
NO
interscholastic athletic games or practices or any other |
| after school activity
unless specifically stated in the School Closing Announcement. |
|
| In the event of too many
snow days, no school days will be added to our school
calendar unless both |
| Frontier and Lake Shore
districts follow the same schedule. |
| We will keep you
informed as we receive the information from the
school districts. |
|
|
One final note: Please do not call
police agencies, highway departments or the local districts
concerning the possible |
|
early morning closing
of schools. |
|
They are trying to deal
with the emergency conditions and need as few
distractions as possible. |
