PIC(S) OF THE WEEK!

Another Week into 2022!

Brrrrrr! 

The chilly temperatures this week were a bit of a "shock to the system" resulting in a bonus Spirit Wear Day , which somehow eased the disappointment of indoor recess. Some of our students were excited to sport their new Frankie the Rebel gear that Santa had brought to them for being such good boys and girls! 

Didn't have a chance to make your Frankie purchase in time for Christmas? Free shipping ends this weekend!

The youngest members of our school family celebrated various careers this week, which included virtual visits from an ESL teacher, a pharmacist, a nurse, a fisherman and a doggie daycare owner! 

An in person visit from Father Ryan was a preschool favorite, as laughter always seems to fill the room when Father is around. From veterinarians to vocations to religious life, our preschoolers had fun considering the possibilities of

"what they want to be when they grow up".

Thank you to all of the parents who shared so willingly with our students!

Our week ended with the all time favorite "I Have a Dream '' Pajama Day, to honor and reflect upon the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. before enjoying the long weekend. YAY for PJ Day... and YAY for MLK!

Enjoy the long weekend, try to stay healthy and God bless!
