Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back!

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter and enjoyed some quality time with family and friends. For those of you that may have traveled, I hope you had a relaxing and safe journey.

We are officially into the home stretch of the 2024/2025 school year and there are many events and activities scheduled over the last 6 weeks of this year. Please continue to check the school website and your teacher websites for the most up to date information.

We left before break with a beautiful presentation of the Live Stations of the Cross. I would like to once again thank Mrs. Kerry Wyrovsky for coordinating this wonderful reminder of our faith. Many hours go into preparing these events and I truly appreciate all that our faculty does to enhance our students’ faith and for taking time out of their schedules to make it happen! Additionally, our 3^rd grade students raised over $1600 from their Jellybean Raffle. Congratulations to this year’s winner Conor M.! All monies raised go to the Heifer Foundation, in support of providing livestock, seeds and plants for harvesting, etc. for those in poverty. I know the students are excited to determine what they would like to purchase upon their return this week.

This week we begin with our last and final round of STAR Testing. Schedules have been posted on teacher websites so please ensure your child has a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast on these designated days. As a reminder, this week students who participated in the Student Council Fundraiser for our Performing Arts program can dress down on their designated day. This can be found on teacher websites and TEAMS for our Middle Schoolers. Thanks to your generosity we raised over $3600! The proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to purchase new risers for our stage during future performances.

On Wednesday, our preschoolers will be doing some bird watching so make sure you ask them if they were successful on their adventure! This Thursday we will be hosting our first Visual and Performing Arts Festival. Ms. Lopusznick and Mrs. Calicchio have been working together to provide this wonderful opportunity for our students to shine with either a performance or with showcasing their art talents. The event will run from 5:00PM-7:00PM in the AAC. Please stop by if your schedule allows it. I know the students are excited about this opportunity.

On Friday, we have our Middle School Spring Pep Rally. All students are invited to dress down for the day in their school spirit wear or spring sports jersey. Additionally, we begin with our Confirmations and Communions for the next few weekends. Please pray for our candidates as they receive the Holy Spirit or the Eucharist this weekend.

God Bless!
