Important Notes-
We are off to a GREAT start!! Thank you for your prayers and support!
Our first family picnic day is Friday, August 27. It is also a no uniform day with an item or $1 for the Food Bank. We plan to have all families at the same time this year - 11:30 - 12:15.
Please mark your calendars - we are planning Grandparents Day for Friday, September 10, starting at 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. We plan to have a sack lunch/picnic day with them along with a couple of fun activities and a grandparent blessing. Since we are still doing our best to keep everyone safe, all activities will be held outdoors on our playground. If inclement weather, we will move to various indoor locations.
Students are encouraged to bring money for the Monday and Wednesday mass collections, even if just a coin or two. Mass collections in August go to the Adopt-a-Student Program
We have had some cases of hand/foot/mouth disease and a couple of students have family members who have tested positive for COVID. THANK YOU for keeping your child home if they have any fever or other symptoms. We are doing our best to keep everyone healthy and safe. We are following the diocesan guidelines while also working with our local health department. THANK YOU to our school nurse, Jenny Brooks for her many hours last year helping us through difficult times, and we are blessed to have her back helping us again this year!
God bless your family with a GREAT weekend!
