Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him  

Our K-4 students have been busy making cards for folks who have been discharged from Baptist Health and just need a little extra encouragement on their road to recovery. These simple cards will hopefully bring a small bit of comfort to some people who need it.

Middle School Night is next Thursday, Sept. 10. We are looking forward to sharing all the great things going on the classrooms. Our meeting will be virtual. The teachers will have a prerecorded message about their classes and expectations and will also be online for a virtual Q & A. More information will be forthcoming next week.

With Labor Day weekend coming up, I wanted to send out a reminder that if you do travel out of state, you will need to quarantine for 14 days following your return. Unfortunately a negaitve COVID test will no longer suffice, it must be the full quarentine of 14 days.

MAP TESTING

Students and teachers have done an excellent job completing our MAP testing. We still have a few more days to go. Tuesday, Sept. 8 will be the last formal scheduled test and we will have a few days to follow for make-ups. As soon as we have the tests completed, we will send home the tests with the new 2020 normative data. The best way you can help your child to be successful in testing is to encourage a good night's sleep, a good breakfast and drink plenty of water - and, of course, to encourage them to do their best.

This is a way that you can still support Mary Queen School from home with no extra cost from you. If you already shop at Krogers, please designate your Kroger card to Mary Queen. Snap your receipts from anyplace that sells food for Box Tops and Shoparoo - every little bit helps!
