| Message from Principal Hamilton | He is Risen! We continue to celebrate the joy of this Easter season. Yesterday, our middle schoolers brought the Easter story to life at The Resurrection Play with a simple portrayal of Jesus and his encounters with his apostles and others in the days leading to his Ascension. Thank you to Mr. Landowski for helping our students to share the Easter story. Our students sang with great enthusiasm, which was a wonderful testament to their faith and love for God. | Today, we were delighted to host visiting students from The Cumbres Institute in Queretaro, Mexico. This marks the second year that their sixth graders have visited our school. It was a joy to watch our sixth and seventh graders welcome their international peers—leading them on campus tours, enjoying friendly soccer and volleyball games, and collaborating on a shared Spanish project. Thank you to Mrs. Wodka for organizing these cross-cultural connections, which are such a gift to our students. | Moms: Please join us next Friday, May 8th, as we will honor you at our annual Mothers’ Tribute. We have invited a special guest speaker to share an inspiring message about the vital role you play as a mother. Please plan to arrive by 1:00 pm for this brief talk. At 1:20 pm, we will gather with the entire school for our annual Pope Day parade, followed by Mass, some fun games, and a special blessing. | Lastly, please come out tomorrow night to cheer on our co-ed volleyball teams! They will be playing right here at home! Go Knights! | |
Rejoicing in gratitude for God's blessings,
Candy Hamilton
