Diligence

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him

Catholic Identity
May Crowning is Thursday, May 6. So that we can celebrate together, we are going to have our May Crowning service outside. For May Crowning, we ask that the children dress in their church clothes - no jeans. If you do not want your child to wear dress clothes, that is fine, please send them in their school uniform, not their gym uniform. We ask that each child brings a towel to school to sit on and a live cut flower to honor Mary. Second grade will be our honor court and your child's teacher will be reaching out with more details for you.
Would you like to join us for our May Crowning service? You cannot sit with the students but we will reserve some parking spaces for parents who would like to attend our May Crowning service, we will have you park in car line and then walk over to the big lot to join us. You will need to bring a lawn chair to sit in.
Boosterthon
What a great day 1! Each evening during our week, we will have a challenge and a reward! Tonight's challenge is register at FunRun.com and be out of uniform tomorrow! (if you have already registered you are out of uniform for sure tomorrow) If at least 50% of our students register by tomorrow then we will have a flip flop day on Friday!
All monies raised in our Boosterthon go towards school scholarships.
Tuition 2021-2022
There is a 2% discount in tuition if you pay the school year in full. Please let us know by May 2 if you are considering paying in full so that we can set your account up correctly (and give you your discount!). Please email Mrs. Duncan at rebecca.duncan@maryqueenschool.org. Thank you.
Matching Donation!

We received the fantastic news that we have a donor that is willing to match donations up to $25,000 for scholarships for next school year! What a blessing! If you would be willing to help us to meet our goal of raising $25,000 in scholarships, you can send a check or cash to the school office or you can donate by credit card here and choose "school scholarship."
