God's Creation was the theme for artists in the After School program. Students enjoyed painting with acrylics on their own canvas thanks to the "Budding Artist" program. This was funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of Dickinson County. Thanks to all who came to our Art Show!

If you chose to complete STEWARDSHIP hours instead of paying extra tuition, please turn in your hours to Mrs. Whitehair or Mrs. Herrman. Please turn in the paper stewardship form or e-mail hours to us. THANKS! The STEWARDSHIP program helps us keep costs down for all families. Examples of stewardship hours - crossing guard, serving on School Council or Home & School, providing food items for activities, auction committees, Back to School Night, Home & School events or fundraisers, drivers, helping in library or classrooms, Tiger Days donations or helpers, etc.
DON"T FORGET TO ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO READ so we can have an EXTRA FUN final reading party!
Students have two important opportunities for the final few weeks of school. We are working towards a PRINCIPAL's PARTY for good behavior and a final reading party. This is scheduled for Monday, May 23.
Students are encouraged to bring money for the Monday and Wednesday mass collections, even if just a coin or two. THANK YOU for teaching your child about the importance of stewardship and helping others.
Reminder - our last family picnic day is the last day of school, May 24. ALL STUDENTS WILL NEED A SACK LUNCH. The lunchroom will not be providing lunches on the last day of school. Parents/Guests are welcome to join us from 11:00 on - please see the schedule below.
Home Reading Challenge A new party is being planned for the end of the third quarter. Student goals are set by each classroom teacher.
