St. Michael - St. Gabriel Newsletter
| | A Message From The Principal | | |
Dear St. Michael-St. Gabriel Families and Friends,
This next week students in Grades 4 and 6 will be taking their science ILEARN summative exam, and those in Grade 5 will be taking the social studies ILEARN summative exam. We will begin the math and English/Language Arts summative exams for Grades 3-8 the following week. As always, please be sure your student arrives at school on time and is prepared to test.
This year, we will celebrate our Senior Mass on Thursday, April 23rd, recognizing those students who graduated from St. Michael-St. Gabriel four years ago. If your senior has yet to respond, please have him/her RSVP to us by April 20th, as we will have a small reception after Mass in the school cafeteria. We hope they can join us.
Finally, it is not too late to join us for our annual Color Run, which will take place on Friday, April 24th. If you would like to help, please use the link found in this newsletter to sign-up. Remember that all families are required to complete five service hours for the school each year, and this is a way to help get those hours completed.
Have a blessed week!
God Bless,
Mrs. Ramos

Este año, celebraremos nuestra Misa de los futuros Graduados de Preparatoria será el jueves, 23 de abril, en reconocimiento aquellos estudiantes que se graduaron de San Miguel-San Gabriel hace cuatro años. Si usted tiene un hijo que próximamente se va a graduar y no ha confirmado su presencia, por favor hágalo a más tardar antes del 20 de abril, ya que ofreceremos una pequeña recepción después de la Misa en la cafetería de la escuela. Esperamos que nos puedan acompañar.
Por último, no es muy tarde para que se una a nuestra carrera anual “Carrera del Color”, la cual se llevará a cabo el viernes 24 de abril. Si desea colaborar, por favor utilice el enlace que encontrará en este boletín para inscribirse. Recuerde que todas las familias deben hacer cinco horas de servicio para la escuela cada año, y esto podría ayudar a completar sus horas.
¡Les deseo que tengan una semana muy bendecida!
Dios los bendiga,
La Sra. Ramos
