From the Principal

Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations.

Psalm 96

Hello Everyone!

Please join us in celebrating Catholic Schools Week by attending the CSW Family Mass at 9:30 am. this Sunday, January 26. Students who attend the family mass in uniform will qualify for a dress down day if they sign the sheet in the church vestibule or Hajdu Hall. Immediately following mass, you are most welcome to come visit the school and check out the Book Fair. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit the classrooms, meet our teachers, administration, and current families. If you know of a family looking for a school, please invite them to attend Sunday.

Thank you to all the families who supported our McTeacher Night fundraiser last week. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying their time together. Special thanks to FSA for organizing the event and to all the teachers who participated. $1711 was raised!


Have a great week!


Ms. Booth
