Blessings from the week...
A beautiful day for a
RECESS ROSARY!
It was wonderful to welcome back our students in a much fuller capacity after the February break! Faces that had not been seen in quite some time were a refreshing and joyful sight! The spike in COVID cases and number of emails sent home has been reset to zero and we are thrilled. We certainly had our fair share of challenging days but we are hopeful that those were "the worst of COVID times" for our school community.

Please read below the information pertaining to our journey through Lent and consider engaging in the numerous opportunities for a prayer filled home experience. Our staff and students are looking forward to a prayerful, purposeful, and powerful journey to Christ's resurrection... won't you join us?

Thank you for your continued vigilance as it pertains to the health and wellness of our school community. "Letting our guard down" will not be in the best interest of our school community.

God bless, stay safe, & enjoy the weekend!
Mrs. Russo
So great to see our kindergarten smiles!

RE REGISTRATION & FACE FUNDING INFORMATION
If you have not already done so, yet intend to, NOW is the time to solidify your child's seat for the 2021-2022 school year! Beginning next week, we will be looking at each class size to determine how many students we will be able to enroll from our current wait lists. If you have not yet paid your registration fee, or would like to discuss financial need at this time in order to do so, PLEASE call the school office this week. We obviously put our current school families ahead of new families, so please let us know your intentions and/or need!


Also, just a reminder that FACE applications are due by March 5th. Please begin the application process even if your 2020 taxes are not yet complete.
