Dear Parents,
Welcome back! I hope that everyone had a restful Spring vacation. It was wonderful to see the children's smiling faces again as they entered the building in all that rain!
The Gospel Value for April is Compassion. Compassion is to "have deep awareness and sympathy for another's suffering and wanting to do something about it." For us to show Compassion and love for our neighbor and each other is truly how God wants for us to live our lives.
We all have our own human sufferings. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, an illness, or something personal.
To be on the receiving end of Compassion, when it is shown to us is a special gift from God.
For us to give Compassion to those who are in need is showing Compassion for our God.
These acts of love help us on our path to Heaven.
Quote from Pope Francis:
"The measure of the greatness of a society is found in the way it treats those most in need."
Faithfully yours,
Miss Giaquinto

News From The Nurse
Here are a few reminders as we move closer to the end of this school year.
- Water Bottles: Please take a moment to check your child's backpack/lunch box and locate their water bottle. If their water bottle has been misplaced, appears cracked or does not look like it will last until the end of June, now is a good time to replace it. As the weather warms up, it is very important for your child to have their own water bottle and remain hydrated while at school.
- Ticks/Lyme Prevention: The grounds at school will be treated for Ticks, however, please continue to inspect your child after being outdoors and make this a part of your daily routine.
- Medications: Please remember to touch base with the nurse if your child needs their medication before recess and or PE. All medications must be replaced prior to the expiration date. Please send in a replacement ASAP.
- Food Allergies: Our school remains a Nut-Free Zone, due to severe Food Allergies. Cheese Dust Products (Smart food, Pirate Booty, Cheez-its, Doritos, and Gold Fish - flavors that leave a residue on fingers), are Not permitted in certain class rooms, due to severe Dairy allergies. Please check labels before sending snacks into school and/or contact me regarding class rooms with Cheese Dust allergies.
Thank you for your cooperation and helping to keep our school community healthy!
Nancy Hogan, RN
