Hotlunch system for ordering is open from March 6 - March 13. We will be serving lunch right after Springbreak until the week of the finals. For more information please contact: info@bestbalancedlife.com
Please remind your child not go into the fields in the back until after Spring Break. They are still very muddy, and we just re-seeded them. Plus, nobody needs muddy halls. Thank you!

SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS
GRAD GRAMMYS GO OFF WITHOUT A HITCH...
Special thanks to all those who made this evening possible, including Mr. Richard, Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Hrasko, Mr. Drosdovech, Springfield Funeral Homes (for livestreaming the event) and of course our planning committee - Mrs. Sali, Mrs. Griffin, Gracelynn, Renatta, and Leanne! Special shout out to our stage crew – Georgia Griffin and Kiera Freire, and our technical crew, Hudson B. and Victor M. If you missed it, you can still view the stream below.
...except for two sets of stitches...guys,
when we said break a leg, we didn't mean literally. However, in spite of the small mishaps and even though we needed to switch to a virtual performance, it turned out to be a wonderful evening! Congratulations to all the grads who made the "Graduation Grammys" a success!
Mr. D got a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his many years serving Immac, particularly for starting the tradition of the Fashion Show.
Many impressive performances by our grads.

LENTEN CHAMPIONS
Each homeroom has chosen a Lenten champion to support through their "challenges". At the end of Lent we will see who managed to stay most on track.
IMMACULATA DONS HISTORY
We want to extend a Thank You to Patrick Walls (Grad ’63). Patrick is the grandfather of current Immaculata students Cooper and William Clarkson, and recent alumnae Savannah Clarkson. William brought in the following card from his grandfather and we are grateful to have a piece of Immaculata history! If you have any other items of history from Immaculata and would like to share them with the school please contact Mr. Freire.
Please CALL the office at
