Dear Parents,
As we are now in the Easter Triduum of Holy Week, we are reminded that God sent us His son to save us from our sins and to open the gates of Heaven.
We should not be afraid because Jesus will take up the cross for us. He makes the sacrifice of dying for all of us. It is out of great love that He does this. Love for His people gives Jesus the strength to follow through with God's will.
Love can bring us to do many things. Let us remember this love that Jesus showed us and let us spread this love to all who we encounter!
May God continue to shower the St. Catherine of Siena School community with His love always. Have a very Blessed Easter.
Quote from Pope Francis:
"Do not be afraid! Our Father is patient, he loves us, he gives us Jesus to guide us on the way to the promised land."
Faithfully yours,
Miss Giaquinto

News From The Nurse
Dear Parents,
Spring has just begun and 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.
Tips to Stay Healthy:
- Wash your hands frequently with soap & water or use Purell/hand sanitizer.
- If your child is sick, keep him/her home from school.
- Cover coughs and sneezes.
- Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth.
- DO NOT share food or drinks with others.
- Stay away from people who are sick.
Reminder ~ Nut-Free Zone: Please remember that all class rooms are Nut-Free Zones. Please Do Not send in any foods that contain NUTS or processed in a facility with nuts. If your child eats foods prior to school that contain nuts, please have them wash their hands, face and brush teeth/rinse mouth prior to arrival.
Thank you for your cooperation and helping to keep our school community healthy!
Nancy Hogan, RN
