Dear Parents,
LAST DAY of school…moved to June 8! The archdiocese (along with some other local jurisdictions) is allowing us to close a day earlier than was originally on the calendar since we did not use up our Snow Day allotment. Our last day will be Thursday June, 8. That is also when we will have our last school Mass and our awards ceremony. We will dismiss at 12:30 that day.
SNAP, crackle and pop!
Our seventh graders challenged us today with the SNAP fair, a combination of science information and math puzzles. Parents joined us in the auditorium as students and teachers in grades 3-8 were challenged to solve a variety of problems created and developed by the 7th graders. Thank you to Mrs. Sutherland, Mr. Schiller, Mrs. Shaffer, and all of the students for providing us with this entertaining and educational activity.
Yesterday, we completed our ALICE lockdown drill. The students were very cooperative and the drill was quick, and then we got on with our day. We will continue to work on these strategies with our students this year and into the future.
Mission Fair is NEXT Friday, Bulldog 5K is the day after that!
Please be sure to register for these amazing Blessed Sacrament traditions.

Thanks to a complete renovation by the National Park Service, the fountain at Chevy Chase Circle is up and running and better than ever.
Please join your neighbors and parishioners for the inaugural lighting of the fountain on Friday, May 5, 2023, at 8:30 pm. There will be a brass band to usher in the celebration and free ice cream for all.

Further events will continue that weekend on or around the Circle, including “Plein Air” painting around the Circle on Saturday and the Chevy Chase Garden Tour on Sunday.
