Have you seen the new playground construction begin? We are so excited! If the plans go perfectly, and we know they will, we will have the blessing of our new parish playground on Sunday, April 29 at 2:30 pm. It will be the kick off to our Children's Day celebration. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Children's Day / Dia del Niño

We will have much to celebrate on Sunday, April 29 and a perfect day to celebrate our children. Children's Day is a Mexican tradition filled with fun and games and that is just what this afternoon's celebration will be all about. We will play some games, enjoy some good treats and friends and play a bit on our new playground. The celebration will be held in the lower lot - the parking lot closest to the school, by the cafeteria entrance, from 2:30 - 4:00. See you there!

May Crowning

May Crowning is scheduled for Monday, May 7 at 10:30 am. It seems that each year, one of the traditions is broken glass from the vases that we have on our prayer tables in each of the classrooms that are decorated so nicely in honor of Mary. Would you be willing to sponsor an unbreakable vase for your child's classroom? This is the vase that we are looking at. If you would be willing to sponsor a vase, please send $9 to the office in an envelope marked "vase donation." Thank you. More details on our May Crowing celebration will be forthcoming.

Vaccinations for 18-19 School Year

It is given in two doses, six months apart. In order to be compliant for the 2018-19 school year, the first dose should be given now, in January or February. Schools cannot admit students unless they are immunized and have the new KY immunization certificate on file at the school within two weeks of the start of school. If you have any questions about this, please contact your child's physician or Margaret Jones, Program Manager, KY Immunization Program at 502-564-4478 ext. 4257 or Melissa Eastman, Adolescent Immunization Coordinator at 502-564-4478 ext. 4254
