We loved seeing our Pre-K and 1st-grade saints at Mass on Wednesday morning. Watching our students honor the saints with such reverence and joy was so special. Thank you to all who joined us for this special occasion.

We have so much happening this week! Our Halloween parties are coming up, and we know our students are beyond excited!

Reminder: Parent-Teacher Conferences on October 29th and 30th. These meetings are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, celebrate their growth, and discuss goals for the rest of the year. During your conference, you will receive your child’s MAP and CogAT scores. If you haven't scheduled your conference yet, please reach out to your child’s teacher directly as soon as possible!

Finally, don’t forget to set your clocks back this Sunday. Enjoy that extra hour of sleep!

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and a safe and fun Halloween!
