May Crowning Mass 5/3
We are planning to have our school May Crowning at 8:30am prior to the school Mass on 5/3. The First Communion students will be processing with the crown to our Rosary garden behind the convent (with the entire congregation) where our 8th grader, Joel Hendrick, will place the crown on Our Lady during the blessing by Fr. Slaton. We would like our 2nd graders to come dressed in their First Communion attire, please bring a change of school uniform clothes for after Mass.
Donations Needed
The Panther Pal groups will be making bird feeders this week for a special Earth day activity. Thank you to everyone that brought in toilet paper rolls. We are still in need of birdseed, skewer sticks, and peanut butter. Please send in donations by Wednesday, May 1st. We would like enough for each student to make a birdfeeder, any help with these supplies would be greatly appreciated!
