Jesus, Light My Path

March 24 - 26

Dear Parents and Scholars,

    The Student Council Bake Sale will be on Tuesday, March 25th.  All items will be 25 cents with a limit of two items.  The cake raffle tickets will be 10 cents or three for a quarter with a limit of $1.  Raffle tickets will be sold on both Monday and Tuesday. 

    Also in the news, our next field trip is scheduled for Thursday, April 10th.  We will be visiting Clowes Hall to see the performance of "Frindle."  We are reading the book right now, and I think that the scholars will enjoy the story coming to "life."  Please turn in all permission slips and money before we leave on Spring Break.

    Speaking of Spring Break, I hope that you all have a safe, restful, and WONDERFUL Spring Break!  You and your scholars have worked hard and you deserve some quality time together.  My God bless you all whether you're traveling or staying at home.

    Thank you once again for all that you sacrifice so that your scholar may have a Catholic education.  Your kindness and generosity do not go unnoticed.

                                                                                  Many Blessings,

                                                                                     Mrs. Dunn
