Ash Wednesday
This Wednesday we will celebrate Ash Wednesday and mark the beginning of the forty days of Lent. Each of our students will have the opportunity to receive ashes on their forehead in the shape of a cross. These ashes are a symbol of our mortality and a call to complete trust and reliance on God. They remind us that no one is perfect and that we all need repentance and God's grace. We invite parents to join us for our Ash Wednesday Mass at 8:30am. Another tradition associated with Lent is the idea of sacrifice. We encourage each of our students to think of some sacrifice they can make for the forty days between now and Easter. We unite these sacrifices with the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus for all of us.
A message from Kelly Lazzara, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Parents,
As part of our goal to serve the students and families of the Diocese of Richmond Catholic Schools, we would like to know how satisfied you are with the programs and services currently offered to you and your child/ren. In order to assess our performance and your experience, we ask that you complete this brief survey. This should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. We value your opinion and will use your input to ensure that we continue to meet your expectations and provide you and your child/ren with the best possible Catholic school experience. This is an anonymous survey and all responses will be aggregated for review purposes and will remain confidential. Our office will close the survey on March 3,2023. If you have children attending more than one school, you may choose to complete another survey or have your answers reflect your overall observations.

REMINDER: Special Presentation Feb. 24th -
Please Plan to Attend!
I'd like to invite all of our parents to attend an informative presentation on Internet Safety for Our Children given by one of our parents, Joe Miller. The presentation will take place at 6:00pm on February 23 and will be immediately followed by our Spring Gala PTO meeting, which we also hope you will stay for. The presentation will address some of the current statistics about youth internet usage, dangers to be aware of, specific ways to protect our kids, and how to work as a family to utilize the internet safely and effectively. This is a timely topic, and we hope that at least one parent from each of our families will attend. **SPECIAL NOTE: THE CLASS WITH THE MOST PARENTS IN ATTENDANCE WILL WIN A FREE TAG DAY! This also counts towards your PTO Volunteer Hours.
