The weather has certainly been a "spirit-lifter" and a sense of spring fever is in the air! March has not come in like a lion, and we could not be more pleased!
In just a few weeks, we will be gearing up for our school's biggest fundraiser of the year! Please consider making your reservation to Embrace Grace 2020 ! The evening will be filled with fun, friendship and fundraising! Live, silent and Chinese auction items have been gathered and are currently being prepared to be highlighted on the evening of the 21st! Also at this year's gala, Father will be unveiling the plans for our new front common area of the school. An exciting evening is planned!

As you know, there is NO SCHOOL tomorrow , as teachers and administration from across the diocese come together for a day of breakout sessions, that encompass the day's theme, " Meeting the Needs of Ourselves and Our Students ". Please pray for a fruitful day for our teachers!
God bless and have a great long weekend!
