Happy Teacher, Staff, and Nurse Appreciation Week!
Appreciation Week provides the opportunity to express our gratitude for our wonderful staff. Our teachers, instructional aides, office, and support staff all go above and beyond for our students each and every day. Together, they ensure that our students experience an incredible learning environment infused with faith, care, and compassion. Their dedication and heart for our students is truly admirable and appreciated beyond measure! Thank you!
APPRECIATION WEEK ACTIVITIES:
MAY CROWNING
This past Wednesday, we held our annual May Crowning ceremony during the School Mass. Our Second-Grade students Tyler Wise, Lucero Hansen, Ava Valachi, Cory Santos, and Alessio Arguelles took part in the Court, adorning our Blessed Mother with a beautiful flower crown to symbolize our devotion and love. This special ceremony also serves as a reminder for each of us to strive to imitate our Blessed Mother’s virtue in our own lives. Please enjoy the pictures included below.
Throughout this month we will continue to celebrate our daily devotion to the Blessed Mother by praying one decade of the Rosary every morning. Students are also encouraged to bring their Rosary to school each day.
Please join us for our Art Show and Spring Concert this Thursday evening!
