Dear St. Isidore Families,
The next two months at St Isidore’s are very busy with lots of different events coming up. As always, the NEWSLETTER, WEBSITE, and SCHOOL CALENDAR are the best ways to stay up to date. I appreciate your taking the time to stay informed.
PRAYERS FOR OUR SECOND AND SIXTH GRADE
Our prayers are with our sweet second graders this Saturday, April 21, at 11:30a.m (Miss Landry’s class) and 1:30p.m (Mrs. Bobich’s class), as they visit the Lord’s Table for the first time. First Holy Communion is a special and memorable day for the children and for their parents. We send them our love and prayers.
Our sixth graders left for Camp Caritas today. This is special trip that allows them to come together as a class, enjoy nature, and have a total blast. We pray they are enjoying their time and for their safe return home.
YOUNG AUTHORS FAIRE
I am proud to announce that all grades TK-8 took part in the Young Authors Faire and many of our students were acknowledged. Each class displayed great effort and creativity. I want to thank 4th grade teacher Mrs. Goetze for organizing this event. Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 6th grade each won Honorable Mentions. We are so proud of them!
CARONDELET SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS
I want to acknowledge and congratulate the following students for being recognized by Carondelet High School and for being awarded the following scholarships. The “Heart-Faith-Courage Award” has been given to Maggie Bowes, Chloe De Smedt, and Annaliese Giusto for demonstrating leadership and involvement in activities based on care for others. Isabella de Melo has been given the “Carondelet Award” for academic merit and leadership. Emma Semansky has been given the “President Award,” which is given to students with top HSPT scores and grades. Way to go, girls! I couldn’t be prouder!
