Dear Parents,
As everyone who attended this year’s Trunk or Treat and Haunted Hallway can attest, our volunteers really outdid themselves this year. Many thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Alvarez for once again spearheading this event.They and their volunteers did a fantastic job with not only the coordination of the event and the decoration of the school, but with the clean-up afterwards. When we walked in on Monday the building was immaculate. What they pull off every year is truly fantastic. We would like to thank Mrs. Obrochta for her amazing Candy Monsters. They are without a doubt the reason why we had record candy collections this year. Finally a huge thank you to the Parent Club for providing pizza today for all the classrooms. Everyone really went above and beyond this year.
Our Jr. Honor Society did a wonderful job planning events all week for Red Ribbon Week. I’d have to say the highlights were Pajama Day on Monday, and today’s Stuffed Animal Day. They will be announcing the winners of the coloring contest tomorrow.
On Tuesday, I was lucky enough to join the 4th & 5th grade on their field trip to a Chicago Wolves Game. Aside from it being fun to go to a hockey game, it was a great experience because it reminded me of what we’re doing here. As I sat with our kids, surrounded by students from a variety of schools from all over the Chicagoland area, it was blatantly obvious the environment we create here for our students pays dividends well beyond faith formation and outstanding academic achievement. Our students are kind, well mannered, and the type of young people it is a pleasure to see in an increasingly unhinged world.
Tomorrow we will be celebrating Halloween, and students may come in costume. Grades PK through 3rd will be participating in our annual Costume Parade in the gym at 12:30. Parents who wish to attend the Costume Parade are asked to enter and exit through the gym doors.
God Bless!
Mrs. Dawn Dion
