We had a wonderful, highly attended mass today that concluded in a reception for the 2nd graders and their parents. The 2nd graders prayerfully served as readers and gift bearers. This reception tradition is a nice way to bring our community together after mass and celebrate the joy and privilege of celebrating mass together as a community. Parents are always welcome to come and pray with us during school masses (scheduled in our school calendar), Adoration, and first Friday rosary - please remember to reserve the section on the right behind the choir area for our students who prefer to sit in this physically distanced area during prayer opportunities.

Tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday we have the good fortune of having the opportunity to watch our 3rd through 8th graders perform on stage and backstage, the musical "Peter Pan Jr." There are still tickets available. Thank you to the many people who have worked hard to bring this musical to production, especially Danielle Wilde who is the main director. Listen intensely to the advice and wisdom shared throughout this production - which can be applied to many areas of our lives and as well as our faith.  “Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.”

Remember to sign up for Parent-Teacher conferences next week. Starting tonight at 5:00pm you may sign up for additional conferences with additional teachers if there is availability. This reservation system will close on Monday at 8:00am so be sure to sign up while the link is still live.

I am pleased to tell you that we will soon be offering lunch options through Gorilla Gourmet. This company will be sharing a menu and the procedure of ordering lunches soon. All payments are made directly to Gorilla Gourmet. More information to come!

Red Ribbon Week is a nationally celebrated movement centered on teaching youth to make positive choices emphasizing that the choices of one individual can make a difference in the world around them.

Attached is a list of events that will be taking place during Red Ribbon Week. For this years’ service project, we will be participating in a donation drive for Box of Joy (see attached flyer for details). In addition, we have provided Family Talking Topics to facilitate daily discussion within your home to support the events of the day.
