April 17, 2019
NO School Thursday, Friday, and Monday - Blessings on your Easter Break!
First Grade -
Today is Mrs. Nissen's last day of school for
this
school year. She will be on maternity leave and Mrs. Sue Connor will be subbing in first grade until the end of the school year. Mrs. Nissen will return to teach first grade in the fall. We pray that Baby Nissen makes his entrance AFTER Easter. We pray all goes well for Mrs. Nissen and her baby! We welcome Mrs. Connor to first grade!
Congratulations -
The Torres Family welcomed a new member to their family early Monday morning. Congrats to big sister Tiara and the whole Torres family! We look forward to meeting Baby Boy Torres!
Spring Program -
Mark your calendars because you will not want to miss our Spring Program on
Thursday, May 9th at 6:00 PM
in the church. This program will feature the talents of all students in preschool through sixth grade led by Ms. Heather! There will also be a few special songs from the JI Band and Ms. Hamvas! There will be refreshments in the Social Hall after the program. Thanks to the third graders and their families for helping with this reception. Special thanks to Brenda McHugh for taking the lead!
Update on School Masses -
Father Todd will be on retreat after Easter. Therefore we will not have any school Masses on Thursdays for awhile. Please refer to the google calendar on a regular basis for updates, changes, and additions. Please include Father Todd in your daily prayers.
Blessings to you!

Everyone (students, families, and church members, etc.) is invited to join in the fun and take a few laps around the run course! While getting some healthy exercise you will be helping a great cause at the same time! The cost is only $4.00 to register and participate! Additional donations are always welcome. All funds raised will go to the local St. Peter CF Foundation Chapter in the name of Mrs. Lynch’s granddaughters - the Lynch Twins. Every student participating will receive some kind of a prize.
There will also be Jelly Bean Guessing Jars on Tuesday, April 30, and Wednesday,
May 1. Guesses will cost .25 each and you can guess as many times as you wish on both days!
Walking for a Cure!
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life threatening genetic disease that affects all mucus membranes in the body, but primarily those in the lungs and digestive system. The CF Foundation is the world’s leader in the research for a cure. Through the Foundation’s efforts, the life expectancy of a CF child has doubled in the last 30 years!
Walk today and add tomorrow!
For more information on CF, contact (retired JI teacher) Mrs. Lynch through the school office (931-2810). Her twin granddaughters, Gia and Kerragyn, both have C.F.
