Reminder to all parents: ALL SCHOOL FEES must be paid in full by the end of the year in order for your child to receive his/her final grade cards and diplomas (8th graders). The final LUNCH BILLING is included in today’s folder. School fees may include any of the following: book, technology, van, lunch, unreturned library books, unreturned uniforms, damaged or lost textbooks, and others as deemed necessary. This would be a good time for you to also take a closer look at your school support through tithing to the parish. If you have unpaid fees, final payment notices will be sent out towards the end of the year.
The 4th & 5th graders were disappointed that the Little Olympics were canceled, but they really had a good time with our own “Olympics” in the gym. Many thanks to Mrs. Werdehausen, Mrs. Haeffner, Cindy Lepper, & Ariana Evers, for all the help & enthusiasm shown while having fun with the students! We appreciate you!
Thanks once again to standby Karen Harms, who helped out in the kitchen one day this week. We appreciate her donation of time & talent. If you see her, please thank her!
