Mr. Martel and Mr. Martel did an outstanding job today running the school! Arrival duty, recess duties, teacher meetings, and a announcement for our students were the highlights of the day!

What was the announcement, you ask?

A DRESS DOWN DAY ON MONDAY FOR STUDENTS ONLY, and a small treat to be delivered to classrooms on Monday as well! Please note that No Uniform Guidelines must be adhered to.

The boys gave Mrs. Russo the gift of a relaxing day!

A Month Dedicated to Our Dearly Departed Loved Ones and Their Holy Souls!
As this month comes to an end, we are mindful of the prayers that have been a part our daily routine and our deceased love ones we have remembered.
Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen

Thoughts, concerns?
Please contact the school office.
From the office:
- Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Shop with Scrip gift cards orders will not be here until next week. I'm optimistic that they will be able to be sent home Tuesday, but will update if that's not the case.
- We have yet to receive word on when the Otis Spunkmeyer orders will be in. Will keep you updated on that as well!
- Next extended care billing will be 12/4/20.
Wishing you and your family a blessed and healthy Thanksgiving! - Mrs. Reis
