Dear Parents,
Yesterday we will be celebrated our student athletes who have participated in winter and spring sports. Several of our 8th student grade leaders shared personal testimonies about what they learned from participating in team sports. Following this recognition, the annual 8
th
grade vs. Faculty volleyball game took place. All students and staff enjoyed these spirited events.
Tonight we have Student Led Conferences for our students in grades 3, 4 and 7. This opportunity allows both the student and the parents to review and celebrate a year's worth of spiritual growth and academic learning. Next week we will proudly graduate our 19th class of 8th grade students on Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm. Our last day of school will be June 1st and the day will begin with our annual 9:00 am Leadership Mass and teacher and staff recognition. Please join us in prayer and celebration if your schedule allows.
As the end of the school year is rapidly approaching, we begin thinking about the calendar for the next year. A few dates of note are "Parent Administration Day" and "Meet The Teacher" for grades 1- 8 which will both take place on Monday, August 21st from 4:00 - 6:00 PM. Incoming kindergarten students will also have WOW Day on August 21st and 22nd and kindergarten parents will be receiving detailed information in the mail regarding this program. The 1
st
day of school for 2017-18 will be August 23rd.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend and remember to honor our men and women who have served and continue to serve in the U.S. armed forces.
Sincerely,
Kathy O'Reilly

Five Finalists in Letters About Literature Contest
Daniel Frommeyer, Akshay Mapadath, Thomas Matthews, Zoe Musselman, and Owen Samunek,sixth grade students from Saint Brigid of Kildare School, were chosen as state finalists in the national Letters About Literature writing contest. These students were part of the 175 students chosen from the 1,338 submitted letters that advanced after being judged at the national level by the Library of Congress staff in Washington, D.C.
The national writing contest is open to students in grades four through twelve in all fifty states. Students from public, private and charter schools enter the contest, with thousands of entries and participation from each state in the U.S. The annual contest integrates the English Language Arts learning standards with an authentic writing opportunity that allows students to express their personal feelings about a book and its effect on them in the form of a letter to the author. What comes from St. Brigid sixth grade students are interpretive reader responses that delve into their personal experiences, and how reading a book has shaped their larger view of the world, their lives, and their impact on others.
Congratulations to all our 6th grade readers and writers on a job well done! And a special congratulations to our state finalists.
