From the Principal

Lord, this is the people that longs to see your face.

Psalm 24

Hello Everyone!

Catholic Schools Week is coming.  Our full schedule of activities will be sent out next week, but on Tuesday, Jan. 31 at 1:00 pm. Mr. Patrick McCaskey, Chicago Bears Vice President, will be addressing the students about the importance of a Catholic education.  Parents are welcome to attend.  Please use this form to reserve a spot since seating will be limited.



Please join us for our CSW Family Mass at 9:30 am. on Sunday, January 29.  Students who attend the family mass in uniform will qualify for a dress down day if they sign the sheet in the church vestibule. Our Open House will follow the conclusion of the mass.





Demolition has begun this week on the Red and Blue playground in preparation for installing the new playground.


Check out our new interactive white boards; we now have 4 in the school for classroom use.  Interactive white boards can help increase student engagement, promote group collaboration, and accommodate different learning styles.



Have an awesome week!


Ms. Booth
