Principal Update 11/13

Dear Parents and Faculty,

Below you will find a few reminders to help you plan for the days ahead.

Be assured of my daily prayers for you and your family

God bless,

Sister Margaret

• Yesterday, Saturday, November 12, our third-grade class received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. May we continue to pray for the Class of 2028, their parents, Mrs. Stephens, Sister Mary Anne, and all who prepared them for this special day. The boys were beaming with joy as they received Jesus for the first time. May this feeling always remain with them. A special thank you to Mrs. Beatty and our choir for sharing their beautiful voices with us.
• Special thank you to Mrs. Conradi, Ms. Patselas, and all our volunteers who assisted with our Book Fair.  The weeklong activity was a huge success! Your support and generosity are greatly appreciated.
