Other Notes -

We've made it to the last week of school! THANK YOU to each of you for your amazing support and prayers this year. We are so blessed!! Special thanks for the AWESOME teacher/staff appreciation week last week. All the acts of kindness were so deeply appreciated!!

Second Grade has a field trip on Tuesday. Thank you to all those helping and/or driving. Wear orange shirt with uniform bottoms.

Preschool last day is Wednesday. Their program is at 10:00. All day students may stay the rest of the day if they'd like. Parents are asked to provide some kind of finger food for the reception that follows the program.

Fifth Grade Promotion Mass is Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. We would love to have students attend to wish the fifth graders well. Students who'd like to sing, please be at church at 6:00 in uniform. They do not need to be in choir to help sing at mass. A reception follows in the gym after mass. Students can be picked up at 8:00.

Please be sure to get your stewardship hours in as soon as possible. Unmet stewardship hours are $20 each and will be added to your May bill. Thank you for understanding that this is how we keep tuition low for all families.

Congratulations to those who placed in the DAR Junior American Citizen Contest!
