Principal Notes
Dear Parents,
On Friday we have our Spring Concert. The students should arrive by 5:45 pm and the concert will begin at six. The classrooms will open at 5:30 for students to gather and get ready.
If you wish to purchase dinner from the Assisting Children's Ministry, it will be available at 5 pm. You can also bring your own dinner and a picnic in the yard before the concert.
The gates to the yard will open at 5 pm. If you bring tall picnic chairs you will be asked to sit behind the red benches. Blankets only and low beach chairs are allowed in front of the benches.
Because this is an elementary school concert with students present, there is no alcohol allowed. All students return to their classroom after singing, just like at the Christmas Worship Service. After the concert, we will open the doors to the school so that you can sign your child out of the classroom.
With over 350 families in attendance, the amount of trash produced at an event like this is enormous. Because of this, we ask that you bring a trash bag with you and take your trash out with you to dispose of at home. We do not want to fill our bins so that they are overflowing for the parish over the weekend.
Mrs. Homan, our music teacher, is excited to showcase our students' music education program. I look forward to hearing their beautiful voices under the May sky.
Here is the link to our youtube channel. Please enjoy this year's Red Tie Bash auction video. Thank you, Steve Dypiangco, Chris James, Chris Marrs, Cindy McCarthy, Danny Pudi, and Aniela Rigali for producing this video. It's so much fun to see what you come up with each year.
Have a wonderful week.
Jennifer
