From the Principal’s Office
March’s CLEAR Focus: We Are Lifelong Learners.
Dear Families,
We wish Mr. & Mrs. del Rosario (PreK) well as Mrs. del Rosario embarks on her maternity leave. Our prayers join with yours for a healthy and joyful birth experience. We are looking forward to pictures of Baby Kai!
Student Council has been busy planning “March Madness!” Students in grades 3-5 and 6-8 are placed in mixed-grade teams to play basketball games during lunch time. These teams will move through the competition until we have two teams to play the championship game, to be held in the gym probably after Easter. The students are excited—those who are playing and those who are cheering them on!
We thank our Seventh Grade who did a wonderful job presenting the Stations of the Cross for our parish on Friday. This Friday, please join us as the Sixth Grade leads us in this Lenten prayer experience. Our Third Grade is excited to present their play about the Pilgrims this Friday. They have worked hard to learn their lines and have worked very well together to polish their performance.
Students are welcome to wear “Free Dress” to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day next Wednesday. Be sure to wear something green to keep the leprechauns away!
Have a great week.
Sincerely,
Lynne Kennedy Mullen
Principal
