Hello!
Needless to say it has been crazy around our state, the upper midwest, and here at Loyola when it comes to the weather. We are still grieving the loss of Sister Mary Beth on top of it. Thank you for your continued thoughts, prayers and support at this time. I also want to take this time to thank you for your patience with the past two weeks with all of the rescheduling of activities and events. Not every date and time will work out perfectly for each event and everyone, but we are doing our best to fit things in.
It is very sad to have missed out on Catholic Schools Week and for our seniors, their well-earned and long-awaited senior retreat. Fortunately, we'll be able to fit in their retreat yet this year at another time. As for Catholic Schools Week, we have moved our mass to February 13. This will still also be our birthday mass for the month. As for all of the fun activities missed out on for CSW, fortunately, the month of February is I Love to Read Month and we will be incorporating many fun ideas and activities into this month.
We are sad to announce that Dan McCargar, a 17-year employee of Loyola as well as an alumni and alumni parent will be leaving Loyola. His final day of employment is February 15. You will still be able to hear Dan on KTOE 1420-AM as he will be moving to full-time there. Thanks Dan for your service and time committed to Loyola and best of luck!
Our PS/PreK enrollment is open for next year. Please promote our program to those with young kiddos. We have had to increase the cost of our PS & PreK programs. The good news is that our current families are grandfathered in for the discounted cost of PreK. We have had to increase costs to run the program in the manner we currently do and want to continue that. For a while now we have run the program below cost of other local programs. PS & PreK to do not get the funding support that the K-12 classes do from other sources so the cost has to be funded through tuition. The increase in tuition will put us on par with other local programs while yet continuing to offer the best program around. For more information and to enroll, click here.
Hopefully you have seen our exciting news of announcing summer Clubhouse option here at Loyola. We are so very happy to accommodate this request and opportunity for many of our families. You will find information about that here
If you have and your family have been cooped up in the house this week and need to get out Loyola has the perfect solution for you tomorrow. Our junior high robotics team is competing in St. Cloud. Our One-Act Play is competing in St. Peter at 10am at the section tournament. Girls basketball is in Nicollet at 2:30pm. Boys basketball is home competing Saturday night and we are hosting Movie Night on the Hill from 6pm-8pm.
Enjoy your weekend!
