Week of 4/18

Dear Parent/s,

I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and got to spend some time outside. I also want to thank you all for keeping my family in your prayers. It is greatly appreciated. This week I will be out on Thursday and Friday again. I have had this planned since September and apologize for it happening two weeks in a row. Sorry for any inconvenience. Please be sure to email/call Mrs. Condello with any dismissal changes etc. Thank you for your understanding. Here are the other reminders for this week:

- Congrats to our very own, Kate McGlinn, for reading her poem titled "Red" at SCAN this past Friday. We are so proud of you!

- There will be a blood drive in the Parish Center from 1:00-6:00 pm today (4/18).

- There will be a Dress Down day on Friday, 4/22. Please send in $1.00 to dress down.

- Please be sure to check your child's homework each night. By this point in the year they should be able to come home, start and complete their homework independently, but it is important that you check and review their work with them. Thank you for your help with this.

That is all for now! Have a great week!
