Dear Parents,
Last evening I had the privilege to celebrate the beginning of our First Communion preparation with 177 students from our school and parish religious education program. This special celebration is full of joy and excitement as our young children prepare for one of the most important moments in their spiritual development and faith life. Please pray for all of these young people as they study and grow in faith throughout this year.
The 9:00 school Mass on Thursday will be cancelled due to both of our priests attending a funeral on Thursday morning.
Have a great week,
Kathleen O'Reilly
Principal

STEM For Daises and Brownies - Oct 28
Girl Scout Troop 2097 consisting of girls from 6th through 8th grade, invites all Kindergarten to 3rd grade Girl Scouts to an afternoon of "S.T.E.M. for Daisies and Brownies" on Tuesday, October 28, 2014 at Hendricks Hall from 4:45-5:45.
The Cadettes of Troop 2097 have planned an afternoon of fun for the younger Girl Scouts while learning about science, technology, engineering and math. Participate in a rain gutter regatta and learn about wind energy. Use measuring cups and spoons to create a yummy treat. Experiment with baking soda and vinegar and see what happens! Dare to hold a leopard gecko? Hear from an engineer, Dr. Carol Clinton, PhD, P.E., LEED AP who will talk about her latest project in South Africa. We will also be joined by a few friends from the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio. Let us show these girls how welcoming we are at St. Brigid of Kildare School! If your Daisy or Brownie is interested in attending, please email Eileen Bower at [email protected] on or before October 15.
