News From the Principal

Dear Saint Jeanne's Families,

This past week has been full of action without a doubt! We are so blessed to be a part of such of an amazing school community! Our annual family carnival was a great deal of fun indeed! We extend our thanks to our chair persons, Alyssa Wichterman, and Rosie Andrews, as well as our Home and School Association and parent and staff volunteers for a job well done! It definitely takes a village to pull of such of a successful event! We are looking forward to this school community tradition in years to come!

For the third year, Saint Jeanne's celebrates a one of a kind, "Colors of Compassion Week" to raise the awareness of not only Breast Cancer, but any and all diseases which have affected our friends and loved ones. The students will have the opportunity to purchase and wear a colored ribbon representing a particular disease of choice. Later in the week, students can donate $5.00 to wear Free Dress. All donations will be given to Children's Hospital in Los Angeles to benefit young cancer patients. New toys will also be collected for disbursement to these little ones. More information about the week will be shared soon.

As you can see from our joy-filled pictures in the newsletter, lots of great things are happening at Saint Jeanne's: Grandparent's Mass, Band Lessons, visit from Saint Catherine's Dance Ministry, Eighth Grade Retreat, Alumni visits, Red Ribbon Week, Auction Gift-giving week....and much more!

As always, thank you parents for your positive spirit and joy-filled support! We have lots to celebrate! More news soon!

In the Company of Mary Our Lady,

Mrs. K Mora Principal
