Hello!
It was a short but busy four days this week. To name just a few things that occurred this week: we celebrated our State Speech participants at a pep fest, we had NWEA testing for our secondary students, some of our students helped out at Project Community Connect, and our first graders presented the Way of the Cross to help us prepare for this holy week.
As we come together to celebrate a joyous Easter with our loved ones, we are reminded of all the blessings God gives us. We are truly blessed to have a great school community. We are thankful for your support in developing future leaders that will serve our community and society.
So many of you have told me that you are praying for Ryan Tontz, so I wanted to give a quick update: the surgery for Ryan went as expected, and he was released from the hospital ahead of schedule and is now recovering at home. Thank you for your prayers, thoughts and support for Ryan and his family.
On behalf of the Loyola staff, I wish you and your family a very blessed Easter!

PLEASE NOTE:
District 77's regularly scheduled late start on May 14th will become a full school day. Morning busing will now be available.
PROJECT COMMUNITY CONNECT
Thank you to all who donated items for Project Community Connect. A group of Loyola students participated in the event on Tuesday, continuing Loyola's strong spirit of service!
4/26 MASS HONORING JOE FREDERICK, SR
Loyola will honor Joe Frederick, Sr. at all-school Mass on April 26 at 1:00 p.m. Joe has been a generous supporter of Loyola Catholic School, and the school last year dedicated Frederick Hall in honor of Joe's late parents, Gerald and Lorraine Frederick. Joe currently has two grandchildren attending Loyola and continues to remain active in school activities and fundraisers.
BUS TRANSPORTATION FOR 2019/20
Transportation forms will be sent home with each Loyola student next week. District 77 asks that ALL families complete the form, regardless if you will be using busing services.
Please remember the following District 77 guidelines:
- Please turn in all completed forms to the (Loyola) office by May 24.
- Students who fail to complete forms during spring registration must visit Central Registration over the summer to turn in forms.
- Forms received for all public and non public students after August 1st are not guaranteed busing or a pass until October 1st. Students who register during the spring are 1st priority
- Only students living within Mankato School Districts are eligible for busing
- K-5 students must live more than one mile walking distance from your school to be eligible for busing; 6-12 grades must be more thantwo miles
- All students are only allowed to be transported to and from one single address, and it must be the home of their parent/legal guardian, or an eligible daycare
- No transportation form = no bus pass = no ride
SUMMER CLUBHOUSE
We are excited to announce we are FULL for summer Clubhouse. 75 students will be joining us this summer at Loyola! We will be starting a waitlist.
We are looking for end-of-the-year/left-over school supplies for summer Clubhouse. If you have extra crayons, pencils, notebooks, folders etc we would love to use them for our summer Clubhouse program! We will have a box located by the main office.

2019/20 TUITION ASSISTANCE
We are excited to roll out our new Financial Aid application platform called FACTS Grant & Aid. We know you understand the value of a Loyola education and that as a part of the Loyola family, we know that you are making financial sacrifices to educate your children in the atmosphere and tradition Loyola provides. Thank you! Loyola Catholic School is able to provide tuition assistance to K-12 families who provide documentation of their financial need, via FACTS Grant & Aid. By offering tuition assistance, Catholic education becomes affordable for more families who desire a partnership with us.To start the financial aid process for 2019/20, click
