Welcome back!  We hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving break.  The rain was a welcome relief and turned our environment back to "green"!  Our students were busy today, sharing, reading, writing and being together.

We hope to see  you on Wednesday for our Barnes & Noble night.  Give your children the gift of a good book.  Come check out your teachers as they read some of their favorite books.  Buy a $1.00 raffle ticket to win a Holy Rosary basket and a $225.00 Registration Fee for 2019-2020. 

If you are interested in adopting a family this Christmas, please contact Rita at the Parish Center, 757-9515.  We have many families in our parish community who seek assistance.  You can make a difference in the life of a family.   

Join us on Friday, November 30 for the 8:00 a.m. mass.  We wish you a beautiful week.

Mrs. Fely Fajardo
Principal
