Bobcat E-Envelope

October 15th, 2026

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone enjoyed the three day weekend. We were blessed with phenomenal weather that seems to be sticking around for the time being.

Enormous thanks to Mrs. Ziolkowski and all the volunteers who worked so hard on last week’s book fair. Everyone had a wonderful time! We can’t wait for the next one during Catholic Schools Week. Thank you to Mrs. Obrochta and her helpers for creating the amazing candy collection “monsters.” They are certainly getting the kids excited about “feeding candy to the monsters!” Trunk or Treat is a little over a week away - Saturday, October 24th!

Yesterday our 5th graders led us in the annual Rosary Prayer Service. They did a wonderful job, and we are so thankful for their hard work.

This upcoming weekend promises to be filled with more mild, autumn weather. Here’s hoping everyone has time to enjoy this lovely season while it lasts!

God Bless!

Mrs. Dawn Dion

Principal
