Good Afternoon Parents:
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms and special women who help nuture children and our families. I hope your day is filled with many blessings. Our pre-school classes had various events for their Moms today. The rain couldn't stop the smiles and hugs of the day.
Our 8th grade traveled to Holy Hill for their retreat and was accompanied by Father Aaron. The days are winding down for them and next weekend is "Lion King, Jr.", their play. Everyone is anticipating this performance as it draws closer.
I couldn't help but chuckle yesterday as I was working in my office. Three upper grade students were running toward my office to get a key to open the science lab. Far, far down the hallway, a tiny 3 year old voice chirpped out loudly, "NO RUNNING IN THE HALL!" I said to the group, "You just got called out by a 3 year old!" Never a day goes by that something like this doesn't happen.
Have a blessed weekend and let's thank God for all the mothers in our parish.
Mrs. Wadzinski

I also want to thank the 2nd grade Girl Scouts. Their help made this possible. They decorated the collection boxes, placed posters around the school, made great announcements, and led the way with their donations. Great job girls! I am so proud of your efforts!
