Teacher Appreciation Week: Thank You!
Special thanks to all of our parents who helped to honor our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week last week. Whether it was through a donation of food, time, or money, our teachers greatly appreciated your generosity. I believe they would all agree with me, however, that the greatest gift that you give us as educators is allowing us to know, instruct, and form your children in faith, reason, and virtue every day.

Mr. Johnson Retirement Party: Save the Date
As many of you already know, after 49 years of teaching at Saint Agnes School, our beloved Mr. David Johnson is retiring at the conclusion of this academic year. What a gift he has been and will continue to be for our community!
To help celebrate Mr. Johnson, I want to let you know that on Monday, June 6th, we will be hosting a retirement party from 4-7 PM in the Ubel Activity Center, with a formal presentation honoring Mr. Johnson at 6 PM in the Helene Houle Auditorium.
The event will feature a meet-and-greet with Mr. Johnson and his family, heavy appetizers, drinks, and desserts. No RSVP is necessary, but if you have fond memories of Mr. Johnson, we are collecting them and would love for you to share yours with us by sending them to: honordavid@saintagnesschool.org.
If you stop by our school as the academic year comes to a close, please join me in thanking Mr. Johnson for all that he has done for our families, students, and school in his classroom!
