Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe that we are officially into the Fall season and we are just about halfway through the first marking period. Progress reports will be sent home at the end of next week for grades four through eight. We are sailing right along and the children are settling into the school year very nicely! 

The morning drop-off has been going  well. It is nice to greet everyone before they start their day!  I feel it is important to review the drop-off procedures so we can keep everyone safe. I would like to encourage all families to drop their child off at the sidewalk instead of parking and walking across the lot. 

If you choose to park in the lot and walk your child/children into school please do not cross in front of the cars pulling up to the sidewalk. This can result in an accident and safety issue. Please walk across to the sidewalk in front of the Family Center and follow that sidewalk to the main building.  When returning to your parked car please follow the same pattern and walk along the sidewalk in front of the Family Center back to your car. Do not cross in front of the drop off line.  Thank you for your cooperation.


Quote from Pope Francis: 

"God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking His mercy." 

God asks of His people to be forgiving and expects us to forgive those who have offended us. It is not always an easy task to endure and forgive these offences; we are not perfect people and we can't expect others to be.  There are times when we make choices that are not always right.  We have to reach out for God's mercy and for God's pardon. When we do He forgives us each time. As difficult as it may be we need to do the same for others and forgive those who have hurt us. Let us pray for those who need forgiveness that they find God's peace in their hearts.


Faithfully Yours,

Miss Giaquinto

This year we will be hosting our annual celebration of our Grandparents in the spring. Due to the construction in the Church for the Christ at the Center Project we won't be able to have our program this fall. We will keep you posted on a new date once we have one. We are looking forward to entertaining all of our wonderful Grandparents this spring.
