Happy Monday and I hope all our mothers had a fantastic day filled with love and family. Mothers play such an important role in educating their children, mind, body, and spirit. May God bless all mothers in their dedication to their families.
This week begins the final week for our graduating 8th graders. Classes finished last Friday. They begin this week with a trip to Islands of Adventure on Tuesday. Thursday is the beautiful Baccalaureate Mass at St. Peter Church beginning at 9:00 am. Finally, the week ends with the Graduation Mass at St. Christopher Church in Hobe Sound on Saturday, May 20th at 10:00 am. We invite all our families to attend one or both of these wonderful celebration masses this week.
We also have two important events this week...We have our Volunteer Brunch this Wednesday in the cafeteria beginning at 8:15 am. Evites were sent to parents who volunteered over 75 hours. Please know we are only able to track volunteer hours through our check-in system. We have had some problems with this system as it is new. Further, we are well aware many parents complete their service off campus but never log their hours. If you feel you have given over 75 hours but did not receive an invitation, we sincerely apologize and ask that you call Ms. Darlene Capparelli to add you to the invite list. We also have our Iowa results meeting this Wednesday evening in the gym at 6:00 pm. We look forward to sharing our wonderful results with our families.
As we approach the end of the year, we wish to inform our families that although tuition did not increase this year, we were forced to increase book bills slightly. The cost of books and supplies continue to increase. We must always weigh the benefit of the textbook and the cost of the book. Both are always a factor when deciding a series. Unfortunately, when we select a series and the cost rises, within a five year adoption plan for a series, we are left with the cost. Thank you for your understanding. I have also been asked to remind parents to check their lunch and aftercare accounts and kindly pay any outstanding amounts before the end of the year. Unsettled accounts are both uncomfortable for the school and family. Thank you for attention in this matter.
