A Message from the Principal...

Dear St. Louis Families,
This week was the "first of the lasts" as we had our completion ceremonies for all of our preschool classes! Every goodbye and "Happy Summer" is a reminder of the gift that each child brings to our school community. We also had fun this week with field days and picnics... I am grateful for the many people who signed up to help, send in items, and make these days special ones for our students. I am very grateful to Mrs. Lisa Blaha who did an outstanding job preparing for and facilitating fun field days for everyone. There are still a few picnics planned for next week, so the fun will continue! These celebrations are often ones that our children remember well beyond their time here, so we celebrate them with joy.
Next week, I will be busy on Tuesday at the high school graduation of my daughter, Morgan. How fast the high school years go by – I can still remember her in that St. Louis School jumper in room K-10! Next week also brings St. Louis graduation day on Thursday, June 6
th
for our Kindergarteners in the morning and our 8
th
graders in the evening. Savor the moments and remember to pray as a family - - the days go faster than you realize.
Peace,
Kathleen McNutt
Principal

Google Accounts of Students Not Returning 2019-20
|
As your student leaves St. Louis Catholic School, we wish them the best and won’t ever forget them. We will however, be forgetting their Google accounts! All students who are moving/graduating/leaving the school will have their St. Louis School Google account, and all its data, deleted on July 19, 2019. If your student has any documents, photos, data, etc. saved to their Google account (@stlouisschool.org) they must save it to a personal account, flashdrive, computer, or some alternative storage format. Anything that is not backed up elsewhere will be lost. Have a wonderful summer!
