Dear Parents,
While we didn't beat Holy Redeemer in the school collection for the Greg Gannon Canned Food Drive, we still had an amazing collection here AND a near record-breaking collection on Saturday. Final numbers are not in to me but I know from reports that day that we had a hugely successful collection. Thank you, again, to everyone who contributed and who collected.
As the weather turns colder (except for tomorrow when it will be 70), we wanted to remind everyone that we follow Montgomery County for all weather-related school delays and cancellations. If you are not already, please sign up for Montgomery County weather alerts HERE. If MCPS closes early, you are welcome to come pick your child up early but as is our tradition, we will have staff stay until the end of the school day for families who may face a challenge getting here for an early dismissal. (After care will be cancelled on these days.)
Parents: All of the children at school are now eligible for vaccinations. Please be sure to update the health room on the vaccination status of your child. As we report positive cases to the DC Department of Health and make decisions on who may return and when they may return and any testing requirements, it is imperative that we know the vaccination status. Many students will be completely vaccinated by the end of Christmas break and this information will enable us to keep more children, in person, for more days.
Congratulations to our CYO 7th & 8th grade girls A basketball team for winning the Turkey Shootout Tournament!
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly
