Feast of St. Francis- Blessing of the Animals
Tomorrow, October 4th, is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.  We will celebrate together on the football field at 2:45.  Parents are welcome to bring family pets at that time to be blessed.  Students may NOT bring their animals during the school day, however students in grades 3K-2nd are invited to bring a stuffed animal with them on that day.  All dogs must remain on a leash and must remain under the care of the parent.


Early Dismissal- October 7th
We will dismiss at 12:00 on Friday, October 7th for a specialty training for our faculty as a continuation of training they received at faculty/staff in-service.  Because of the nature of the training, which is to prepare the faculty/staff in the event of an on-campus threat, we will not have extended day care available.  All students must be picked up by 12:15.
