Dear Parents,
Wolfhound Field Day 2019 takes place tomorrow and the theme is
sunscreen
and
hydration
since we have recently been blessed with sunny weather! Please make sure that you apply sunscreen to your children and pack a water bottle before they leave home in the morning. The students have really been looking forward to this May tradition which is only possible due to the generosity of our donors to the Annual Fund and to the many volunteers helping out with the event. A heartfelt thank you to Molly Seago and Natalie Baur, our parent chairs, and to Jill Cecutti and Courtney Kreber, our school staff chairs. Also a special thank you to Joyce Brown, the cafeteria staff and parent volunteers for serving our delicious Wolfhound picnic lunch.
A few reminders of the schedule this week:
-
Following Wolfhound Field Day will be early release at 1:30 PM!
-
There will NOT be school Mass on Thursday.
-
May Crowning will take place on Friday at 9:00 AM.
-
If you haven't already done so, please turn in your FACTS contract to the school office.
Spring blessings,
|

Visit from Rep Liston and Senator Kunze
On Monday we had a visit from Representative Liston and Senator Kunze! Eighth-grade students Callie Kasun and Owen Samenuk gave them a tour of our school and showed them how we use our state funding. State funding includes our auxiliary service funds, Peterson funds, transportation funds, and administrative cost reimbursement. These funds cover many learning materials and technology in the science lab, makerspace, computer lab and library.
Thanks to our School Advisory Council chairs Kelly Barr, Ann Sage, and Karen Steinbrunner who helped show them around and discuss the many exciting things we have going on at Saint Brigid of Kildare School!
