Sack lunch students may purchase any or all classroom favorites by returning the enclosed form, WITH PAYMENT ATTACHED. Catholic Schools Week meals are planned throughout March and early April, which is a little different this year, due to the DESE lunch audit.

STATIONS:  Students will be attending Stations of the Cross each Friday at 2:15 pm. If you or a grandparent is attending and would like to take your child after the service, please send a note to school. This will enable the student to bring his/her backpack to church.
