Happy Spring to our School Families,
Isn't the warmer weather welcome? Many of our students are sporting tans and even some sunburns. I hope you had an enjoyable Easter break.
Shorts weather is here, and I have noticed that many students have grown taller. Please remember that the shorts, per our uniform code, are required to be no shorter than 3 inches above the knee. Spandex shorts or skin tight pants/shorts are also not part of the dress code. I realize how quickly children grow, but we do have some time to go before the end of school.
Father Aaron is treating the middle school to a bowling trip soon. What a generous gesture he is extending. We are a very fortunate school to have a Pastor who wants to spend time with his students. Father Britto and Father Aaron are a true blessing.
Beauty and the Beast, Jr., the 8th grade play, is bound to be a winner this year. Please check your folders for ticket and date information. Working on such a large project as a play exposes the students to the arts like no other experience. Even those students who were not too excited about the play initially found that they have talents they never realized existed. That's the beauty of the arts.
See you at Mass,
Mrs. Pat Wadzinski

Be Kind, Donate!
We are the fifth grade volunteers for Tablesetters. Our advisor is Mrs. Pledl. This school year we decided to make bird feeders out of recyclable materials. We want to help the birds, and we want to raise money for the Humane Society. We want to take care of God’s creatures. If you donate three or more dollars, you get a bird feeder of your choice. This includes birdseed, too. Please stop in the Community Room on May 6th or May 7th after all Masses. Thank you for donating!
