Thank you to our amazing families, wonderful volunteers, and dedicated staff for making Catholic Schools Week such a joyful celebration! The activities, including our grade-level service projects, truly brought our community together.

A special shoutout to our students who participated in the Religion Bowl; we are proud of your hard work and representation of St. Monica Catholic School.

Please remember that progress reports and MAP scores will be sent out next week, as they were delayed due to last week’s snow days.

We also appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers for Barbara Ibbotson and her family during this difficult time. Your support means so much.

Lastly, don't forget to join us for the Dads’ Club Sponsorship Party this Saturday! We look forward to a fun evening together!
