EASTER - Happy Easter and Happy Easter season! I hope your Easter break was filled with many blessings!
FIRST COMMUNION - Many of the second graders are in their last week of preparation for receiving their First Communion! First Communion will be on Sunday, May 1st at 10:00 AM. Please continue to pray for those children who are preparing to receive Jesus in a very special way.
MAY CROWNING PRAYER SERVICE - We will have a special prayer service on Wednesday, May 4th to honor Our Mother Mary. We are looking for flowers for our prayer service. If you have flowers or want to purchase a few flowers, please have your children bring them to school on Wednesday, May 4th by 8:00 AM. The flowers will be a special part of our prayer service, and then they will be taken to the classrooms to be put by their statues of Mary. We honor and celebrate Mary during the month of May. It is a great month to pray the rosary and some of our other special prayers to Mary.
Second Grade Families - I am looking for one parent to take the lead with your grade level responsibility which is hanging basket sales. Hanging basket sales will be from May 6-8, 2022. This is a fairly simple fundraiser with only a little help needed from second grade families. Please email me by Tuesday if you are interested in taking the lead. Second grade parents, please be on the lookout for a sign up to help with these sales.
Fifth Grade Families - I am looking for one parent to take the lead with our sixth grade graduation reception. Our sixth grade graduation Mass is on Tuesday, May 24th at 6:30 PM. There will be a short reception following Mass, and this is what I need a parent to take the lead with. Please email me if you are interested in taking the lead. Fifth grade families, please plan on helping the evening of May 24th.
ABC COUNTDOWN - This is our special countdown of the last 26 days of school. It began on Wednesday, April 20th. Each day will have an activity or be a special dress up day related to a letter of the alphabet. Most days will be a surprise. If it is a dress up day or if the students need to bring something to school a message will be sent the day before. Check your emails regularly during the last month of school so you don't miss any fun activities or special days!
HIRING FOR 2022-2023 - We have a variety of openings for the upcoming school year. Please help us spread the word. We are seeking people for the following positions: classroom teachers (multiple grade levels), administrative assistant, lunch assistant, marketing/development, and paraprofessionals. Some positions are full time and some are part time. Part time positions can be combine to make full time positions if desired.
