The SNS Community Staying Connected |
|
The SNS Student Council will be sponsoring an EASTER EGG HUNT on Tuesday, 3/30. The Upper School students will partner with their Lower School student buddies to hunt for eggs on the school grounds. COVID precautions will be in place for the event.
Student Council is asking for each family’s help to supply plastic unfilled eggs and candy. It would be appreciated if each family could supply a dozen plastic eggs per student and a bag of individually wrapped candy to fill the eggs. There will be specially marked eggs for students who have food allergies. Please send in the candy and eggs to school by Monday, 3/22.
We have also received a request from the Bethesda Project for Easter candy. If you are able to send in an extra bag of candy on Monday, 3/22, it would be much appreciated.

A profound and sincere THANK YOU to the school families, parishioners, alumni, grandparents, and friends of St. Norbert School who participated in the Show Your Love to SNS effort. Together, $51,813 was raised to support the 2020-21 SNS Annual Fund.
As a special incentive, Mrs. Hennessy offered a Dress Down Day to any grade who achieved 75% family participation. The school community met this challenge with an incredible 83% overall school family participation rate. This is the highest level of participation in the SNS Annual Fund ever attained by our school community.
Congratulations to each and every grade for obtaining at least 75% family participation. Mrs. Hennessy has declared Thursday, 3/25 as a school-wide Dress Down Day to thank and celebrate this extraordinary accomplishment by our school community.
