Principal's Notes

Dear parents and families,

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter and a restful Easter Break. After 40 days of prayer, reflection, and sacrifice during Lent, what better ending could anyone ask for other than celebrating the resurrection of our Lord!

Some quick updates:

Friday, April 13: End of 3rd Quarter
Wednesday, April 18: FULL DAY OF SCHOOL (No Hot Lunch)

Thursday, April 19: Report Cards sent home
Saturday, April 28: School Auction
Friday, May 11: Band Trip to Kings Dominion
Friday, May 11: FULL DAY OF SCHOOL

Due to snow days this passed winter, we have extended two of our future half days to full days for the students. Wednesday, April 18, and Friday, May 11 will now be full days of school. On Wednesday, April 18, there is no hot lunch, so be sure to send a lunch in with your child.

Please join us for our PTO meeting and guest speaker next Wednesday, April 18 from 6:30-8:30 in the cafeteria. The guest speaker will discuss a Positive Discipline Parenting Program. We hope to see you all there.

The third quarter ends this Friday. Report cards will be sent home on Thursday, April 19th.

Please join us for a McDonald's Spirit night Tuesday next week. Don't miss out on the fun, the food, and of course, the free dress down pass!

Please read the section below for information concerning our School Auction. As always it is a great deal of work to organize and plan, but the money raised and fun had by all ends up being well worth the effort! We hope to have an amazing turn out this year, which on requires you!

God bless,

CYO Track and Field

Calling all 3rd-8th graders interested in participating in our St. Michael track and field team. Open to all school and CCD students. Practices began on April 3rd and will be help Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00-7:00 at Annandale HS Track. Cost is $20 to join. Please contact Katie Doyle, ktkc09@gmail.com or Mary-Matula, m9ov5qed@verizon.net with questions.

Mrs. Howard and our 8th graders organized a wonderful prayer service prior to Easter break for our school to come together and reflect on the Easter season. There were songs, videos, prayers, readings, and even our 8th graders washing the hands of all students in the school!

7th grade students study vocabulary and spelling in Mrs. Harmon's class using the Chromebooks for a pre-assessment. These quizzes allow the teacher to gather data on the needs of the students to help guide instruction and help all students meet the lesson's goals.

Our third grade students worked in the STREAM Lab creating helicopters. Mr. Kottcamp created an fun and educational activity for all students to learn about engineering and aerodynamics!

Our PreK 3 students took a field trip to our Science Lab! The students explored lab equipment, looked at skeletons, and played with the solar system! Great field trip, Mrs. Nary!
