Dear Parents, Happy (almost) Easter!   Spring fever has certainly set in!   Report cards will be posted by the end of today. The break will be a nice time to reset and get prepared to reach some goals for the fourth quarter.   Seventh graders…it is time to be thinking about next year. Please keep up your efforts through the school year. I would encourage you to attend the High School Fair at Catholic University on Saturday, April 22. See the ad below. Information about Catholic high schools was sent home today.   We look forward to seeing everyone refreshed and renewed on April 17. Enjoy the break with family and friends. Faithfully,  Chris Kelly

Boy Scouts Camp June 25th - July 1st A week of fun, a lifetime of leadership! Please join Troop 90 at their week at Goshen Scout Reservation in southwestern Virginia. The camp is located in an idyllic setting, approximately 2 1/2 hours west of Washington and is, bar none, the best value for a sleep-away camp you'll find. Over the course of the week, the boys swim, hike, learn to cook and work as a team, and work on various merit badges. It is a terrific introduction to scouting, and we have a good core of scouts going this year already, so please consider joining us. The cost is $575 (early bird registration discount, before April 14) for the week which covers everything inclusively. For more information click HERE
