EGG
HUNT: We are planning our annual Easter Egg Hunt for
students on Wednesday, April 12th. Each family should send in one dozen candy-filled plastic eggs for
each child in school in grades PK-6th – in a bag marked with your child’s name. The 7th &
8th graders will be hiding the eggs for the classes, so you may
remember them with some treats as well. Please do not fill eggs with chocolate
or anything that would melt. We also have students with peanut allergies so we
ask that no peanut products be sent. YOU CAN NOW SEND THESE INTO THE CLASSROOM.
Thanks so much!

Rice Bowl you received a few weeks ago can be utilized as a Lenten tool to
devote our prayers, fasting, and almsgiving to transform the lives of those
most in need. There is a Lenten calendar inside, videos available, and also an
app to get Lenten inspiration right on your phone. You will find information
about all these things inside the Bowl. PRAYER. FAST. GIVE.

will find order forms for a cinnamon roll fundraiser sponsored by the youth in
