Wednesday is ASH WEDNESDAY – the beginning of Lent. ALL SCHOOL STAFF WILL ATTEND MASS. If you get to school after 7:50 am, please bring your child directly to church.
We are sending home the “OPERATION RICE BOWL” packets today. Please use these as a prayer tool during Lent to help support families around the world. Inside the “bowl” is a Lenten calendar, with ideas and prayers for each day. Any funds collected in your rice bowl may be sent to school or placed in the main vestibule of church the week after Lent. May you find new ways to serve the Lord this season!

We will begin attending Stations of the Cross on Friday, and continue every Friday throughout Lent. Students may leave from church with parent or grandparent, but only with a note from the parent to the classroom teacher. The teacher will then allow the student to bring his/her book bag to church with them.
There will be no SCHOOL BOARD MEETING in February.
If school is called off for inclement weather, the lunch menu is subject to change.
Please send in all Box Tops and Best Choice Labels. Jeanne will be sending these off at the end of February.
