Summer Reading Challenge (Incoming Grades K-7)

Dear Parents,

Summer is here! Below, we are offering some opportunities for students to continue reading and learning over the summer, supporting your students’ formation and education in faith, reason, and virtue!

I'm excited to promote the following Summer Opportunities for you and PreK-6 Summer Reading List from National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). Note, we’ve adapted these lists as we see appropriate; that said, parents are encouraged to preview books to ensure their suitability.

·    Fiction (NEH)

·    Non-Fiction (NEH)

·    Junior High Summer Reading (NEH)

·    Ignatius Press Book Club Recommendations

Our Summer Reading Challenge 2023 has three versions for various age groups and prizes when minimum summer reading goals are met. Likewise, students entering grades 3-7 for 2023-24 will have an opportunity to compete for other awards/prizes based on the amount of books read and page numbers. The

Summer Reading Challenge logs were handed out on the last day; you can also download them below:

• Incoming Grades K-3 students (parent read-alouds count!)
• Incoming Grades 4-6
• Incoming Grade 7

Please contact Dean of Academics, Mr. Michael Adkins if you have questions.

2023 Summer Series: Registration Closes TODAY

We are excited to invite students and adults to campus this summer, hosting a wide array of classes and camps ranging from athletics and academics to arts and adventures!

Cafeteria & Student Meals 2023-2024

There will be new State funding for School meals. The processes are not finalized by the state yet, but this is what has been decided so far:

Applications will still be required for the free/reduced meals. This allows Saint Agnes to still apply for grants and scholarships that are based on the percentage of free/reduced students (based on federal qualified applications) attending. It also allows us to receive the federal funds for the school meals. The new state funding will cover the difference. There are several other education benefits to Saint Agnes based on the number of approved applications. There are several fees (such as some testing fees) which are waived for qualifying students.

Households which don’t qualify for the federal free/reduced program do not need to fill out the paperwork; they will be set up for the State free meal program. But if you do qualify for the free/reduced program, please plan to fill out the necessary application. Saint Agnes relies on the several hundred thousand dollars we receive annually from the need-based grants & scholarships--this helps us keep the tuition as low as possible for everyone. Applications for 2023-24 will be available after July 1 and we will let you know as we obtain more details.

The new State funding covers the regular school meal, which includes a single serving of the regular meal with the salad bar and one milk. Extra entrée’s, extra milk or milk with lunch from home will remain the responsibility of the parents.  Students will still be using their pin numbers as they move through the lunch line.
