Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous weekend!

We are continuing our countdown to the final day of school (only 9 days left for our 8^th graders, and 14 for the rest of our students!) We had a busy and memorable week at SLG. There are still many events planned so continue to check the school website and your teacher websites for the most current information.

Last week our 3^rd graders had their Rainforest presentation for all parents. It was wonderful to see all who visited on this traditional day that our students work so hard at. Thank you to our 3^rd grade team; Mrs. Farrar, Mrs. Best, Ms. Hirt, Ms. Saltimacchia, Mrs. Gross, and Ms. Balsamo and our art teacher Ms. Lopusznick for what you did to make this happen!

Our Marian service was beautiful, and Father John gave a lovely homily about this special day in recognizing our Blessed Mother. Thank you to our 2^nd grade team; Mrs. Folk, Mrs. Corbett, Ms. Caballero, Ms. Kehoe, Mrs. Piper, and Mrs. Quagliato for working with the students on this memorable prayer service.

Our Middle school had their Student Council elections. Congratulations to the following students for the 2025/2026 school year.

Student Council President- John Mason

Student Council Vice President- Ben Girgis

Commissioner of Religious and School Activities-Kate Mannarino

Commissioner of Student Council Operations- Meghan Moran

Commissioner of Athletic Activities- Teddy Chance

 Thank you, Mrs. Tommolino, for coordinating this process.

Our 5^th and 8^th grade class trips were fun despite the weather. Our 6^th grade had a great time wit their Greek Day. This completes their year-round study of Greek Mythology. Thank you to our 5^th,6^th, and 8^th grade teachers for organizing these events.

This week we begin with the Athletic Association’s Golf Outing. The day is expected to be perfect for a round of golf, and I look forward to seeing those participating tomorrow. Our first graders will be having their trip to Bayshore Waterpark. I know they are excited about this fun day. Additionally, our kindergarten students will spend tomorrow at their annual picnic. Our preschoolers will also have their trip to Holmdel Park later in the week. Lastly, our 8^th graders will be taking their final exams before they finish their last couple of days practicing for graduation and a few other activities that are planned. As you can see, we have another busy week filled with some wonderful events and activities.

I wish all a blessed Sunday!
