Compared to last week's altered and high- energy schedule, this week was certainly much more quiet and predictable. While full academic days and engaged classroom activities were our ultimate goal, a fair share of student illness and absenteeism became a real challenge to maintaining academic progress. There are numerous students who will be faced with the making up assignments, as sickness has certainly had an impact on our school! Please continue to wash hands frequently, and take precautions necessary for maintaining your family's health. Looking forward to a more healthy existence next week!

Our middle school students had a chance to shine this past week, as our annual science fair required their personal best! Their projects were very well executed, and we thank Mrs. Shaughnessy for all of the hard work that was necessary to prepare her students for their participation in the science fair.

Have a great weekend and God bless~
Mrs. Russo

While we may have no doubts whatsoever about the existence of God, our children might... and we therefore may very well need to be armed with evidence.
