Let us run with endurance the race set before us,
fixing our eyes on Jesus
who is the author and finisher of our faith.
Hebrews 12: 1,2

Catholic Schools Week Kick-Off - We are going to need everyone's help with our breakfast and book fair. This is one of two events we need all families' involvement. The other event is the Luck of the Irish which is March 19th. Please Sign up to volunteer for our breakfast! Please invite your families, friends, and neighbors to our kick-off.

Catholic Schools Week Book Fair - Here is a link to the book fair letter.

Catholic Schools Week - Please see the schedule below of our special week. Catholic Schools Week is Sunday, January 30th through Friday, February 4th.

Open House - We have rolled our preschool open house, kindergarten round up, and JI open house into one great evening. Our open house will be Thursday, February 10th from 5:30-7 PM. It is a great time for new families to get a tour of our school and ask questions. It is also a great time to meet the staff and other LA and JI families. Please spread the word!


Blessings to you!
