A MESSAGE FROM MRS. STALLMANN
Dear St. Alphonsus Families,

This week we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week with treats from around the world!  On Monday the staff enjoyed breakfast with the taste of England and France. On Tuesday, they enjoyed a Mexican fiesta lunch.  On Wednesday they enjoyed sweet treats from America. On Thursday they enjoyed lunch from Italy, and on Friday they got to enjoy all the leftovers from the week a special gift of Scrip Bucks.  Our Home & School really did a wonderful job celebrating the teachers and staff at St. Alphonsus School. Thank you for all of the hard work that went into making our teachers and staff feel appreciated.  We truly have the best community at St. Alphonsus School!

On Tuesday, May 14 will be our State of the School meeting from 5:30-6:30 in the Father Alan room (room 200).  Please come and hear about the great things we have going on.

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend.

Mrs. Stallmann
