Dear Parents,

Thank you for a wonderful Catholic Schools Week! We all had a great time celebrating students, our country, community, vocations, and faculty. A HUGE SHOUT OUT to all of the parents who brought in soup, salad, desserts, and drinks for the staff. It was wonderful and greatly appreciated. And thank you Sarah T. and Meghan B. for organizing it. It was wonderful!

It's time for our PIZZA MAKING day! If you did not get a chance to sign up, come anyway. We will begin at 7:00 AM tomorrow so come whenever you can. There is FREE childcare for kids 3 and up so come spend a few hours with other parents and helpers working for a great cause. Join us!
