Principal Notes

Dear Families,

We are finally beginning to see the signs of spring. The days are getting longer, the sun is shining and we are slowly, warming up. Soon we will be moving from the dark season of Lent into the brilliant light of the Easter season.

One of our own families is featured this month in Elm Leaves, a magazine featuring all things Elm Grove.

Today is our last day of school before the Easter break. Enjoy your time off. Rest, relax and come back ready to finish up the school year. There are only 41 days until the last day of school.  

The school office will be closed during the break. We will see you back on Monday, April 12th.

Have a Blessed Triduum and Happy Easter! I hope that your Easter Sunday is a joyous one with your family. I especially pray that the time away renews us all in mind and body.

Triduum Reflection from Bishop Haines


Faithfully,

The CMH STEM Challenge looked a little different this year as it was hosted virtually. That didn't stop our students diving into the challenge with a ton of energy and excitement! They were tasked with building a Rube Goldburg Machine out of mostly recyclable materials and explaining the project process of their design. Our 7th grade team took 1st Place out of 60 area teams! Congratulations to Catherine, Caroline, Chloe, Henry, and Ryan! We are all SO proud of you! Job well done, Team 4!
