Dear Parents,

The Gospel value of the Month of November is "Service." During this month we recognize that as Disciples of Christ we are called to serve others. Service is defined as the action of helping or doing work for someone. We are called to serve faithfully through simplicity, humility, and in virtue in our daily work and interactions with others.  In the Gospel of Mathew, Jesus said " Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." So as we serve our brothers and sisters, let us remember that we are also serving our Lord. 


Quote from Pope Francis:

"Jesus taught us: those who command must become like those who serve. Or, those who wish to be first must become servants...."


Faithfully Yours,

Miss Giaquinto

Tardiness :

I have noticed an increase in the number of students who are late for school this year. If a student comes to school once the prayer bell has rung at 7:45 am they are considered tardy. The procedure is to stop at the nurse for a tardy slip before going to class. 

The tardy count is recorded and becomes part of the record card for your child. 

Please note the first period class bell is directly after prayer at 7:50 am.



Butter Braid Fundraiser Pick Up: 

Our Butter Braid and Cookie Dough Orders can be picked up on Friday, Nov. 10th in the Church Hall.

All Souls Day Rosary
With Fr. Marcello

Fr. Marcello led the middle school children in a procession for All Souls Day.  The procession started out from the front of school to the  cemetery , where Fr. Marcello led the children in saying a Rosary for all the departed souls. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful experience for everyone in truly living out the Mission of Jesus. 

Thank you to Fr. Marcello for all the time he gives to our children.
