ST. RITA SCHOOL GIVES THANKS!

The St. Rita School PTO Board and Ways and Means Committee 
would like to thank all of the parents, parishioners, school staff, and 
community members who contributed their time and donations 
toward making the 2015 Beer, Brats, & Bingo and Harvest Festival 
weekend a great success! The support of volunteer time, donations 
and attendance and participation at the events was sincerely 
appreciated!

 A special thank you to our donors! We were thrilled by the 
tremendous response of those who contributed monetarily toward 
the events and by those who donated items toward food and 
beverage, the general store, game and prize booths, plant and bake 
sales and the hugely successful Silent and Live auction! 

 The Harvest Festival weekend is our biggest fundraiser of the 
year and it simply could not happen without those who selflessly 
give of their time and hard work. Thank you all of our wonderful 
volunteers! 

 We are grateful to Mrs. Harabedian and Monsignor Richard for 
their continual support and promotion throughout the school and 
parish, and to the many valued families, parents, parishioners and 
friends of St. Rita Parish and School!

PODLEY GOES TO 
SCHOOL!

Agents from the Sierra Madre Podley Properties 
office recently became the first local business to take 
a tour of the brand new Sierra Madre Middle School.

The office, located on N. Baldwin, has been in the 
forefront of supporting the Sierra Madre community 
through participation in all of the local activities 
for families and other local businesses. They are 
realtors with an active social conscience.

Sierra Madre Middle School opened its’ doors after 
two years of construction at the beginning of the 
school year. Although construction is not totally 
complete, the new gymnasium is scheduled to open 
before the Thanksgiving holiday and plans for an 
athletic field are underway.

THE REEL DEAL: 

by Ben Show

CRIMSON PEAK REVIEW

Initially, I was very excited for this film: one, it was a Guillermo deal 
Toro film, two, it featured Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain as 
the lead villains and, three, it was a horror movie. How could you go 
wrong? Then, I started hearing the reviews about the film and I was 
caught off guard. How could this movie have been messed up with the 
amazing team behind it? 

 Edith (Mia Wasikowska) and her father (Jim Beaver) live a happy life, 
even though her mother is dead; however, when the charming Thomas 
Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) and his sister, Lucille (Jessica Chastain), appear 
in town, looking for funding for Thomas’ mining device. Strange 
events ensue as Edith tries to discover the truth behind the strange siblings 
and the house known as Crimson Peak.

 This film suffers from only one thing: misleading advertising. ‘Crimson 
Peak’ is not a horror movie, it it more of a Shakespearean/Edger 
Allan Poe, gothic love story with murder, intrigue, and incest. The performances 
are very good, the script builds the tension very well, and the 
set pieces are stunning. Overall, ‘Crimson Peak’ is a great film that led 
people on to believe that it was something that it was not
