Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
The Red Tie Ball is this weekend and I am looking forward to the beautiful evening at Castaway. Thank you so much to Kathleen Green and Shoshana Puccia for your vision and tireless work in making the evening extra special. It is going to be a grand night.
At the Red Tie Ball, the monies raised during our annual "Raise Your Paddle" in the live auction are dedicated to the Fr. Joe Moniz Educational Fund. We continue to honor Fr. Joe's legacy of supporting Catholic education by investing in this fund, which supports tuition assistance and all students' educational needs. Established at the Catholic Community Foundation of Los Angeles, this fund celebrates Fr. Joe's tremendous contributions to our school over his two decades as our pastor.
Our current strategic plan outlines actions steps to increase our contributions to long-term investments. As the Fr. Joe Moniz Educational Fund grows, our school will greatly benefit from financial stability in the future years. I hope that you will join our initiative to grow our fund when you -
Raise your Paddle!
If you are not attending the auction and you want to contribute, you can find the link on our website or here. Thank you so much for supporting the school in the many ways that all of you do.
Have a terrific week,
Jennifer

FIELD TRIPS AND ASSEMBLIES
The field trip program for grades K through 8 has been carefully planned to offer a wide variety of experiences for students over a nine-year period. The program is integrated with the curriculum, primarily in art, music, science and social studies. Field trips are a privilege and students may be kept at school if they do not meet academic and/or behavioral requirements. Field Trips include any school activity, weekend programs and sports activities, student council in-servicing, excursions to the park, etc. These are kept on file for the current school year. No student will be allowed to leave the school grounds and go on a field trip without the proper written permission slip. Telephone calls will not be accepted in place of proper forms. Field trips are usually taken on buses, except if the trip is in a nearby area. Students may walk or be driven by parents locally. Parents may request that their child not go on a trip by writing a note of explanation to the teacher and school office. If a student is not going, he/she will be placed in another classroom.
