Master Calendar

Our preschoolers traveled around the world this week in the safety of our school building! From Portugal to Mexico, the students (& their wonderful teachers) had an amazing trip !

The week has had its share of uncertainty and concern as we stay informed of the COVID-19 developments. Today our nursing staff, Mrs. Shaughnessy and I participated in two conference calls, one with the DPH/DESE and the other with the Superintendent of the Diocese of Fall River. We are taking the decision making responsibility very seriously and are prepared to follow the recommendations given by federal, state, and/or local authorities. We are completely committed to our students and families, and will do all in our power to protect them. The following attachment contains the Diocese of Fall River School Directives , that we will be following closely. We will continue to communicate any updates and/or changes as they are made known to us.

God bless and have a great weekend!

A Message from our School Nurse(s):

Hand washing is key to minimizing the spreading of germs! Teachers reviewed proper procedure for hand washing in their classrooms this week, and used this video to frame their conversation.

** PLEASE NOTE that as of today, the Diocese has given the directive that any student, faculty, staff or volunteer that exhibits any form of illness should remain out of school at least 72 hours after the cessation of symptoms or until a physician deems it safe to return.

WHAT A TREAT!

T he student Concert Choir from St. John Paul II High School in Hyannis stopped in this week to "wow" us with their voices. Our school was supposed to be the first stop on their tour to NYC, which was unfortunately cancelled due to the week's news and happenings. Our students and faculty enjoyed their performance as well as their playfulness, as they remained on site for lunch ....and recess time!

Lenten Almsgiving

Homeless Shelter Drive

We follow the words of Jesus:

“Amen, I say to you, whatever you did

for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.”

Matthew 25:40

As part of our Lenten journey, the National Junior Honor Society is hosting a drive for the Sr. Rose homeless shelter in New Bedford. To take part in this almsgiving project you can donate new t-shirts, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and toiletries. Each class will have certain items to collect. Happy Lent!
