Dear Parents,
Thank you to all the families who have returned their Walkathon letters to the school office for processing. We are on our way to a successful event! Also, thank you to those sponsoring the t-shirts. Your generosity to this event helps our school's budget as well as raising money for technology improvements. This is our "fun" fundraiser of the year, and I appreciate everyone doing their part!
Please continue to bring in your completed letters so we can add the return envelope and put them in the mail. Packets are on a table outside the school office for Distance Learning families. Please stop by to pick up your family packet.
Preschool registration is open for the 21-22 school year. Space is limited. The preschool's enrichment program is open to children 3 to 5 years of age. Please check out the preschool website for the enrichment program, tuition rates and registration.
The teachers are preparing for next week's conferences. This is the final conference of the year, and a very important one. Teachers will discuss your child's academic, faith, and social/emotional growth, as well as give ideas for summer enrichment. Please contact your teacher to see the schedule.
Don't forget the online Book Fair beginning Monday!!
