Thanksgiving Luncheon – November 25

On Monday, November 25, we will host our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon. All parents are cordially invited to attend this special event with their child(ren). For a number of years, we have linked this celebration to an outreach effort to benefit the St. Lucy Project, a large warehouse in Manassas where staff and volunteers process and distribute donations to numerous food pantries in our region. This initiative is in support of We Care Week to benefit Catholic Charities, which is scheduled for the first week of December.

Again, this year, donations may be included with your Thanksgiving Luncheon payment. Please see the order form link below for more details. Additionally, the NJHS will set up a collection station at the entrance to the cafeteria on the day of the event. We invite your participation again as we work together to support the mission of Catholic Charities and to make a positive difference in our community of Manassas.

Thanksgiving Luncheon Order Form

Volunteers are needed to help with set-up and decorations, clean-up, food preparation, and with serving food during the Thanksgiving Luncheon. Volunteer shifts are designed so that you will be able to sit and enjoy your meal with your child (ren). Please consider helping for at least one shift throughout the day. If you are available to assist, please sign up via Track It Forward (Note: VIRTUS compliance is not required for volunteers helping with set-up on Sunday but is required to volunteer on the actual day of the event.)

Signup for Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parent-teacher conferences will take place on the afternoon of Friday, November 8th and through the day on Monday, November 11th.

Please see the links below to schedule an in-person meeting with your child’s homeroom teacher. New this year, Middle School students are asked to attend with their parents or guardians. We look forward to using a “student led” conference model that involves their participation and reflection with you and their teacher. If for some reason you cannot attend physically and need to attend by Zoom, please reach out to the teacher to let them know after you sign up. Otherwise, it will be assumed that you will be in person. Please write the name of your child in the comment box so the teacher knows who to expect.

Welcome the Pilgrim Virgin Statue Home

One of the beautiful traditions of our school is the Pilgrim Virgin Statue Program whereby families are invited to host one of two statues of Our Lady of Fatima in their home for one week. While the statue is in the home, families are encouraged to pray together part of or the entire Rosary for the intentions of our school as well as their own private intentions. The presence of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue is certain to increase your devotion to Mary and to bring you and your family closer to her Son.

Families who wish to participate in this program may sign up on Track It Forward. (https://www.trackitforward.com/site/935959/event/983843)

Pick up time for the Statues at the front office is before 2:30 PM on Friday (unless otherwise noted) with a return time of before 9:00 AM the following Friday. Please be sure to sign in and out for the Statue in the Visitor Binder at the front desk.

Should you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the Pilgrim Virgin Statue Rotation Coordinator, Mrs. Fuzzy Reynolds or call (703-368-4400).
