Assuming all squares are sold, the total payout for the pool is $4,800.00 and the School profit is $3,200.00.

You will receive all 16 games prior to the start of the season VIA EMAIL ONLY.NOTE TO PARENTS:$32.00 for each square purchased/sold will be credited toward your fundraising assessment for the 2014-2015 school year.Payments for the $80.00 can be made as follows: 1 payment of $80.00 on or before August 4th or 2 payments of $40.00 – 1 due on August 4th and 1 due on September 15th.
The Holy Martyrs of Japan Catholic Church is a rural parish of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Louis, Missouri. The church is located about six miles north of Sullivan on state Highway AE. We are an active parish offering daily mass (excluding Monday's) and providing residents and parishioners with many religious and community events and services throughout the year. The parish is named in honor of St. Paul Miki and the 25 men, including some Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries, that were martyred near Nagasaki, Japan on February 5th, 1597.
We are blessed as a school community to have our school named after Mother Teresa. She will always be a model of faith, hope, love and service to our community. Mother Teresa's spirit will walk with us always as we follow in the footsteps of Christ. The words of Mother Teresa, found in the front foyer of our school, and in the chapel, are constant reminders of our call as a Catholic community to connect our faith tradition to our learning environment.Mother Teresa Catholic School was built in 1998. The school serves the students of the west side of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury as well as the rural area northwest of the town. As a faith community we work closely with the Holy Martyrs of Japan Parish to share Jesus' teachings with our students.
