Happy Wednesday!
It's National Vocations Week and the students have been learning about how to listen for God's call. Married life, single life, consecrated lay person, sisterhood, and priesthood. God has a plan for all of us!
Thank you to Mrs. Packer's second graders for leading a beautiful All Saints Day Mass last week! They did a great job learning about and presenting their saints.
We are looking forward to a great day of collaboration tomorrow during our conferences! Be sure to contact your child's teacher if you are unsure of the time of your meeting.
We have a lot of things planned for Veterans Day! All are welcome to join us for Mass at 9 a.m. and for our Field of Flags Ceremony at 1:30 p.m. Please remember: all K-5 students MUST pack a school lunch on Monday due to our traveling to the courthouse for the Veteran's Day Ceremony at 11:11 a.m.
Enjoy the long weekend!
Sincerely in Christ,
Mrs. Tice
Race for Education
Thank you!
