VIP DAY ON THE WAY! Mark your calendar for the first Wednesday in March – March 5th – for VIP Day. Students can invite two “Very Important Persons” to attend. We will have Ash Wednesday Mass in the gym at 8:00 am and then move into the cafeteria for refreshments and an activity. As a reminder, Ash Wednesday is a day of abstaining from meat and fasting for Catholics. Because of this, you should plan on the refreshments served after Mass to be a light breakfast. (Fasting allows only one full meal a day and two smaller meals. The two smaller meals should not equal the quantity of the main meal.) We plan on being finished up around 9:45 – 10:00 am. We thank Paige Chapman, Amanda Herigon & Rachel Kempker for coordinating this event through the H & S Association.

THIS UPCOMING WEEK is iReady testing week for K-8. Please make sure your child is on time for school each day and try to limit time out, especially in the mornings.

ADVANCE NOTICE: Friday, March 7th – NO SCHOOL, Diocesan Professional Development Day

PRE-ENROLLMENT SURVEY: We are asking each family to please fill out the survey sent home last week, which helps us plan our new school year. Pay attention to the bottom, which asks about other people you may know who have school-aged children who might be interested. Thanks so much for your input!

SHOW ME SUDS DELIVERY CHANGE OF DATE: Show Me Suds products will be available for pickup on Sunday, March 9th in the gym, 4:00-5:30 pm. Thank you for your continued support of our school and parish youth.
