FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear Parents & Guardians:

As April comes to a close and May always seems to fly by, I wanted to use this week’s message as an opportunity to highlight a few end of the year events headed our way! The month of May is always a whirlwind and I know personally I appreciate the chance to plan ahead. Please put the following important dates on your calendar:

Fine Arts Night - May 11 at 5:00pm

Join us as we celebrate the growth of our artists and musicians this school year. Our Preschool-8th grade student artwork will be on display beginning at 5:00pm. Members of the band, vocal ensemble, and show choir will begin their performances at 6:30pm. USports and Schoolbelles will also be on site between 5:00-7:00pm to take orders and fit students for new uniform items.

Spirit Family Day - May 30

Students in Kindergarten to 8th grade will participate in Spirit Family Day, our annual field day. Spirit Family Day will end with a prayer service and an afternoon of class activities. They will also be treated to the Snowie Truck as a reward for their contributions to the Penny Wars during Catholic School Week.

8th Grade Walk-Out Tunnel - May 30 at 2:40pm

As the 8th graders head out of the building for the last time, our students will cheer them on for their accomplishments and achievements!

8th Grade Graduation - May 31 at 6:30pm

Our 8th graders will celebrate their time at St. Veronica School during their final prayer service and graduation ceremony. 8th graders will also have a special day off as they prepare for graduation!

Last Day of School - June 1

Students in grades K-7 will celebrate their final mass of the year at 9:00am. (There will not be a school Mass on Wednesday, May 31.) Students will be dismissed at 10:30am on their final day of school. Local school districts will provide normal dismissal routes beginning at 10:30am on this day. Parent pickup may also begin at this time.

Congratulations!

This past weekend, our 8th graders received the gift of the Holy Spirit as they completed the sacrament of Confirmation. Please join me in congratulating and praying for our newly confirmed.

God bless,

Stephanie
