With this week's snowfall, many are asking about how it will affect our school calendar for the remainder of the school year. F
our snow days were built into the school calendar for 2016-17, so we will not need to make-up any of the days we have used thus far.

| 7th Grade Retreat & Hosts Needed |
The 7th grade class will be enjoying a Retreat Day on Thursday, March 23, from 8:30 AM-3 PM at Holy Infant Parish in Manchester, PA. Our day will be led by the NET Ministries Team #8 and our theme will be "Fully Alive (True Happiness)."
Only God is big enough to fill us. The pursuit of happiness motivates every decision we make. Why is it, then, that we find ourselves unhappy so often? This theme explores our search for true happiness, highlighting the one thing that is big enough to fill our deepest desires - God himself.
We will need 6 host families to house and feed same-gender pairs of the NET Team for two nights on Wednesday, March 22 and Thursday, March 23. It is a wonderful chance to get to know some faithful young Catholics on their year of service to the Church and it's Youth! For more information on hosting, please contact Mrs. Krueger at
[email protected]
or 717-846-8871 x236.
