Holiday Inn DVDs

Through the efforts of Dr. Stierman, we have DVDs of the closing performance of last spring's musical. They sell for $12.00, which covers the cost of the contract giving us permission to copy them, plus the cost of reproducing. They will be for sale in the office which has requested that you avoid peak hours which are before school and at dismissal. (A good time to buy would be while you are waiting for the children to walk out the door.) 

Make checks out to Saint Agnes or have the exact amount as no change will be available. Here is your chance to relive all the hard work of the cast, crew, and volunteers that made Holiday Inn a success.  

Fall Festival Cherry Tree Prizes Needed!

The Saint Agnes Fall Festival is Sunday, October 23^rd and the Cherry Tree booth needs your help!

We are in need of NEW prizes ranging from $3-5, which can be dropped off at the school office until October 20^th.

June 2023 Trip to Puerto Rico

The Spanish department is traveling to Puerto Rico in June of 2023. Our students will have the opportunity to explore the fascinating ecosystems and the vibrant culture unique to Puerto Rico. We will snorkel sandy beaches, climb waterfalls, explore the only tropical rainforest in the US, visit Cabo Rojo Salt Flats, and witness the mesmerizing glow of a bioluminescent bay. This trip is currently open to all students graduating in 2023-2026, regardless of if they are a Spanish student or not. 

We will host a student information meeting Friday, October 14^th during Flex and a parent information meeting Monday, October 24^th at 6:00 PM in Room 369. Please note that this meeting will be a repeat of the meeting held last year at this time so parents with students already signed up to travel do not need to attend.
