Dear Parents,
Yesterday we celebrated Ascension Thursday. The school attended Mass and reflected on how on this day we remember Jesus' ascent into heaven after His life on earth. Jesus gave us the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist before He ascended into heaven.
Our second graders will receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion this Saturday, May 12th at 11:00 am. The students have been practicing for weeks for this special day. May God bless them.
The eighth grade journeyed to Philadelphia on Wednesday and enjoyed places that are alive with the history of our country such as the Liberty Bell and Constitution Hall.
On Wednesday May 16th, all are invited to attend Mass at 9:00 a.m. That afternoon, at 1:00 p.m., Mr. Patrie will conduct the Spring Concert with a tribute to the Beatles, "All You Need is Love"! Some favorites will be featured such as, "Here Comes the Sun," "Penny Lane," "Blackbird', "Yellow Submarine" and "Let It Be."
We hope all the Mothers have a beautiful and well-deserved Mother's Day on Sunday.

School Safety Reminder
With the beautiful weather finally upon us, we want to remind our families of some of our campus safety policies.
Dismissal
We are asking all parents and caregivers to continue to closely monitor the safety of the children on the playground after school hours. As a reminder, once a student has been dismissed to a parent or caregiver, the safety of the student is the responsibility of that adult. Therefore the school is not responsible for any injuries that might occur on the school campus "after hours." In addition, our parking lot is very active so please keep a close eye on your children (and others' children) when walking or driving through the lot. Another gentle reminder: children should not disturb any gardens or landscaping on the St. Aloysius School or church properties.
Pets
Please note that we follow the New Canaan Public School (NCPS) policy regarding pets on campus:
No animals, including dogs or other pets, are permitted inside the school building or on the school grounds. Exceptions: service animals trained to assist a human, such as a seeing-eye dogs or animals used for NCPS sponsored programs.
We thank you in advance for enforcing this policy.

Athletics Corner
St. Aloysius School VS Wilton - Flag Football
On May 5th, at Middlebrook Middle School, in Wilton, the St. Aloysius School Varsity Flag Football team took to the field for their very first game vs. Wilton Youth Football.
After a slow start the action began with Ronan Adamo, Henry Brauweiler, Nicolas "Giggles" Chesnais, Ryan "Big Dog" Dobson, Georg 'Georgio" Guttroff, "TJ" Heger, Matthew Mancini, Richard Marquis, John Morris, Ryan Smith and Alex Tabaschek!
TJ Heger, on the first play of the game, broke to the outside after getting the handoff from quarterback Matthew Mancini and raced 65 yards for the score and the first touchdown for St. Aloysius School. All of his team mates high-fived Heger in the end zone to celebrate a perfectly executed play by the entire team. From there it was off to the races for St. Aloysius School's offense.
Alex Tabaschek had what can only be called an amazing game, scoring three times and catching numerous passes from Mancini. One incredible reception took place when Tabaschek leaped for a thrown ball that was clearly over his head. Grabbing it with one hand, his right arm stretched out to the max, landed and then spun passed the defenders, before finally racing into the end zone. Seventh grader Mancini was pin point with his passes throughout the game, completing them to all of his starting receivers, which included Adamo, Dobson, Smith and Tabaschek.
Guttroff was also pin point at the center position smoothly snapping the ball to Mancini which was key to starting each play.
After a slow start on the first series for the defense, the St. Aloysius School team shut Wilton down led by Tabaschek at safety, Adamo and Mancini at the corners and, Dobson and Smith on the inside. Brauweiler and Heger also contributed on the defense and offense during the game with outstanding results!
Special thanks go to Mrs. Adriana Heger for the water and snacks and to Mrs. Krissy Guttroff for stepping up for team mom duties.
Overall a great first time experience for the St. Aloysius School Flag Football team as they approach their first tournament game in New Milford next week.
