A Note from Mrs. Goldsworthy
We are fortunate that although there has been an increase in illness in our school, we have not yet been as hard hit as other schools in our area. We have had a consistent 40+ kids out sick, a few staff members, and even subs. If we do see a rise in illness that should prompt a closure, we will communicate it through SchoolStatus Connect. Please continue to be vigilant about keeping sick kiddos at home and adhering to our policy of being fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school (without medicine).
Holy Family Art Show
We had lots of lovely artwork submitted for our Holy Family Art Show. Please stop by the Ross Hall foyer before or after mass this weekend to see the entries (one piece is Mrs. Goldsworthy's contribution)! Our best in show artists this year are Annelise Boyle, Henry Goldsworthy, Ruby Hudacko, Lola Vanek, and Emmeline Yamamoto! Their artwork is featured on prayer cards that will go home with students. Extras available at the art show. Thank you to all the students who took time to share their creative talents!
