We had a wonderful Sunday!!! Thank you to all who attended the mass at 7 am and those who were able to attend the book club event at Barnes and Noble.  It was a great success and thank you to all the parents who helped to make the event possible.  

This will be the last week of the Second Quarter.  I will be updating grades this week so please be sure to double check option C. We will be half way through the school year.

December 7-11

We will be having a busy next two weeks. Please check the school calendar. 

Also we are almost 1/2 way through the school year. I know that the students are getting anxious for the holidays.  Please remind your child about talking in the classroom while the teacher is talking or teaching a lesson.  Many students are still having a difficult time raising their hands and talking with their neighbors.

Mass tomorrow at OLM church on 21st street.  Please be sure to drop your child off at the church by 8:00 am.

We will be having an all school Mass on Sunday, December 13th at St. Patrick's Church at 7:00 am.  Please have your child wear the uniform in support of our school.
