A Blues-day Tuesday!
The day was dedicated to the love of Our Blessed Mother and to benefit A Woman's Concern...
thanks so much for your support !
‌
Happy Friday! The week has been a good one, based on the smiling faces and happy dispositions of our students! A dress down day is always a "spirit booster" and highlight of our predictable, uniformed days! Even our faculty members are quite grateful donate to a worthwhile cause to wear jeans! Four hundred and twenty three dollars was raised by our NJHS , creating a group of "blue warriors" , praying for the intercession of Mother Mary to help others understand the gift of life!

As you know, parent -teacher conferences will take place next week, resulting in an early dismissal day on Wednesday . Thank you for your flexibility in adjusting your daily routines to make this opportunity a priority. We are off to a great start to the school year, and I welcome the opportunity for you to come and gather information regarding your child(ren)'s progress.
Thanks for another great week and have a wonderful weekend!
God bless ~
