Many thanks to all who made Catholic Schools Week so wonderful this year. We really appreciate all of the students who performed their ministry assignments so well at the Masses last weekend. The teachers and staff would also like to thank the Fundraising Committee and the Student Council, for the treats on Staff Appreciation Day. Catholic Schools really do “Raise the Standards”. A special thanks to Debbie Schulte (Aubrey Schulte’s grandmother, PK) for helping out on Friday with the student’s refreshments. We really appreciate your help!
Calling all room parents! We are counting on you once again to organize the games and refreshments for the Valentine’s parties on Thursday, February 14th. The parties will begin at 2:00 pm. Feel free to ask any student’s parent to send refreshments and any needed items for the party.
