FRIDAY NIGHT'S NEWSLETTER

PICS OF THE WEEK!

MIDDLE SCHOOL BATTLE PRESENTATIONS,

SAINTLY SPOONS,

ALL HALLOW'S EVE DRESS DOWN

& CELEBRATION ANTICIPATION


The saints are getting ready to march on in! 

While our 8th graders have been feverishly preparing for this evening's traditional Halloween Celebration, the excitement is also building for our annual All Saints Day traditions! Students have been hard at work, researching the saints and preparing to dress as the Holy Men and Women that we strive to emulate. We are all looking forward to Tuesday, when students will come to school dressed in saintly attire (with gym uniforms underneath!), have a trunk or treat experience, and attend Holy Mass as a school family. 

Please pray for good weather, however we are prepared to execute a plan B indoor plan should the weather not cooperate.   


The Class of 2023 is ready to provide our school community with a fun evening!

Please be aware of the fact that parking will undoubtedly be an issue, and therefore we ask that families consider a "park and walk" scenario. Both the church and Pope Park may be options for parking, making our lot and outgoing driveway less crowded. Also, this evening's event is going to be VERY well attended! It is absolutely imperative that you keep an eye on your own children at all times as well as encourage good behavior and safe choices.


Thank you in advance for helping us to keep everyone happy and safe this evening. 


We have so much to be grateful for!

Have a wonderful weekend.
