CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK:  Thank you so much to all parents, students, teachers, and volunteers who helped make Catholic Schools Week this year such a success! We cannot recall a year in when we have had so much help from the community with the daily events – especially the staff and senior dinner day. Our standby helpers were here, along with a few new faces! Please know that you are all very much appreciated!

CSW CLOSING: Remember that we are ending up CSW with the potluck dinner and movie after the 5:00 pm Mass this Saturday evening.  Please remember that all parish and community members are invited to join us, along with extended family. Food categories are as follows:

A note from Mrs. Barnicle/Title 1 Instructor: My decision to retire was bittersweet. I will miss the children and the friendship of the great staff at school, but then again I now can go and come as I please and spend time with my now retired husband. Thank you for all the cards, gifts, well wishes and hugs at my retirement party. It brought tears and joy. I especially love the finger print with names rosary. It will be put in a place where I can see it every day….Mrs. Barnicle

A NOTE FROM HELIAS FOR 7/8^TH GRADERS: Lincoln University recognizes that our parochial students (who attend private high schools like Helias) are not qualified, due to their enrollment, to receive the A+ scholarship. Therefore, valuing our fine disciples, they have started an alternate scholarship for parochial students who meet criteria similar to A+ standards. Enclosed is a letter explaining this, which Lincoln has requested our area schools be made aware of.
