A Note from Mrs. Goldsworthy
Happy Easter!
Our K-8th families, please see the email sent today regarding Archdiocesan-mandated testing, Solar Eclipse viewing for 1st - 8th grade students, and dress code information and tasks.
The homily from Fr. Jerome was beautiful on Thursday! Jesus is alive and present in the Eucharist! So blessed are we to celebrate His resurrection throughout the 50 days of Easter!
Faith Forward,
Mrs. Goldsworthy
Save the Date for Eagle Expo!
Eagle Expo for Preschool through 5th grade is coming up soon, so mark down Tuesday, April 23rd on your calendar!
Eclipse Day!
Monday, April 8th, 2024 is the Solar Eclipse, and weather permitting, our 1st grade through 8th grade students will get to witness history! We have purchased Solar Eclipse Eyewear for our students and staff to safely view the solar eclipse. Please send your child with a beach towel so we can gather together on the soccer field for viewing!
OPT OUT Option: Should you not want your child to view the solar eclipse, please email your child’s teacher by 8am on Monday to communicate that he/she will be opting out. Also, you must tell your child. We will provide a showing on the TV in the library for any 1st - 8th grade students whose parents prefer they are not outside.
The eclipse will start at 12:30pm and peak around 1:45 pm in OKC with 93% coverage. We will have a few extra glasses, and parents are welcome to join us to watch the eclipse. Please park in the lot south of the church (near the portico) and walk to the school between 1:20-1:30pm to join us!
