Dear Families,
"May Madness" is fully upon us, and this week has been filled with celebrations. The Loyola Chapter of the National Honors Society inducted 13 new members
on Wednesday evening, resulting in a total of 22 members for the 2017-2018 school year. These students have been identified as showing exemplary scholarship, leadership, character, and service. We are grateful for their contributions to the school and community.
The Kindergarten classes also celebrated with their year end program
on Thursday. With self-made graduation caps, these amazing students sang their hearts out and spoke their lines proudly. The teachers and students put in a lot of effort to make this program a success. There was much joy and laughter listening to them share their gifts.
Lastly, come celebrate Loyola by driving a car! On
Saturday, May 5, Mankato Ford will be up on the Hill with new vehicles that need some exercise! Bring your friends, because for every person who test drives a vehicle, Ford will donate $20 to the Loyola Student Council.
There is much more happening every day, as the end of the year is packed with activities thanks to the March and April weather adventures. Keep a close eye on the activities calendar to see where track and field, baseball, softball, and golf are all competing. Feel free to come out and support the Loyola athletes at these events!
Have a great weekend!
Kevin Elton
PS-12 Assistant Principal
