Dear St. Isidore Families,
Happy news deserves to be shared. I truly believe that SIS is one big family! As with any family, it is always exciting to share good news and celebrate each other’s joyful moments. I am happy to announce that our Kindergarten teacher, Miss Linda, is getting married this weekend! I wish her all the happiness life has to offer.
No news yet on Baby Oster, but it should be any day.
A LOT TO BE EXCITED ABOUT
This is an exciting time of year for our 8th-Grade students and the next six weeks offers them several opportunities to celebrate the years they have spent at SIS. These are important milestones and an earned rite of passage. At last week’s all-school mass, we celebrated “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit” with an awards ceremony. The following students were recognized by their peers for emulating our Gospel Values:
UNDERSTANDING: Margaret Gallagher and Daniel Bauman
SERVICE: Lindsay Riggs and Maggie Bowes
LOYALTY: Annaliese Giusto and Renny Herrerias
HONESTY: Lauren Bingham, Emily Jacobs and Allison Barr
KINDNESS: Aodhan O’Neill and Megan Balousek
INTEGRITY: Isabella de Mello and Alex Seybold
LOVE: Molly Riggs and Libby Ward
The 8
th
Graders will be holding a
Bake Sale during morning carpool tomorrow, April 26
th
.
All items will be 50 cents and proceeds will go to the charities they have chosen. The carwash will support breast cancer and pancreatic cancer research.
A SPECIAL DAY
Last Saturday’s First Communion was a special day filled with joy and love. Our 2nd Graders looked beautiful dressed in their Communion best. Please join us as we celebrate them at our all-school mass this Friday, April 27,
th
at 8:10 a.m. I want to thank the 2nd-Grade teachers—Mrs. Bobich, Mrs. Downey, Miss Landry, and Mrs. Dougherty—for the hours and hours of work they put in to make the day so memorable.
TIME TO RUN AND HAVE SOME FUN
Our annual Fun Run is back by popular demand! The fun will kick off at morning assembly on Tuesday, May 1. During the assembly, the Fun Run team will explain how the Fun Run works and the prizes that can be won. Students will also find out their grade level theme for the day of the run. You should have already received an email from the Fun Run team with a link to your child’s Fun Run donation sheet. If you did not receive the email, please contact the school office. The students have a wonderful time taking part in the run and learn firsthand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Proceeds from this event will go to the new black top, finishing the landscaping in front of the school, fixing the campus benches, and updating the remaining classrooms. This fundraiser is handled by the school and is not sponsored by PTG. Thank you in advance for your support.
SPRING CONCERT
The Spring concert is Thursday, May 10
th
, at 7:00 p.m. in the Msgr. Cardelli Activity Center. There will be a dress rehearsal at 1:00 p.m.
The following is the attire we are asking students to wear. Please do not feel you have to buy something, as I am sure a summer outfit you already have will work.
All shorts/tops/dresses/skirts/rompers must have at least 3-finger-width sleeves and be an appropriate length. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Ward.
General attire
: Longer loose board shorts, summer t-shirts, Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses, sneakers, jeans, khaki pants/shorts, summer tops and skirts, and appropriate sundresses and long board shorts
Not allowed:
Wetsuits, flip-flops, ripped jeans, athletic wear of any kind, Chubbies, leis, or coconut bras (yes, someone asked if they could wear a coconut bra…)
Please remember that this year’s PEP hours must be logged by Tuesday, May 1. I truly appreciate all the time and effort you have given to SIS this year. Honestly, we could not do it without you.
Have a great rest of your week,
Maria Ward
