Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for coming to our final General Parent meeting last week. Our slideshow is uploaded to our school website if you want to refer back to it. We thank Mrs. Navia and her 8th graders for leading our Rosary, and honoring our Blessed Mother at our school’s beautiful May Crowning on Friday, 5/3. We appreciate all those who brought flowers. We also pray for our 8th graders as they go on retreat this week from May 6-9!
A friendly reminder that the last day to buy Scrip for this year is May 10 before we close out all accounts. Please see Mr. Aguilar to purchase Scrip in the office.
This week is National Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-10)! Please show your teachers how thankful you are for educating and caring for your children. Happy Mothers’ Day to all our moms this week! Join us this Friday, May 10, at 8am Mass, as we celebrate you! Fathers are welcome to come early to help set up and celebrate your wonderful wives as well! We will have Muffins with Moms till 9:30am.
