GAS SHORTAGE AT ST. VIATOR
Pre K and Kindergarten got new toys!
PreK and Kindergarten received additional items for their "auto zone play area" (stop lights, a few more cars, and a gas pump)! All too quickly long lines have formed and we noticed the gas shortage immediately! Don't worry, we will order a few more gas pumps and a few electric vehicle chargers!

FRENCH BOYS CHOIR LIVE PERFORMANCE (FREE CONCERT) AT ST. VIATOR CHURCH
The French Boys Choir from Paris, France, will perform at Las Vegas.
Concert is on Wednesday April 10th at St. Viator Catholic Church at 8:15am.
Children globetrotters, les Petits Chanteurs France have been singing and traveling in France and all over the world for 10 years.
This institution gives young boys a special experience of life through singing and group life. Traveling in various countries also gives them the opportunity to discover different cultures. Their life is made of concerts, television shows, singing lessons, tours and participating in the liturgy.
They regularly give concerts of the repertoire (Handel's Messiah, Mozart's Requiem, Vivaldi's Gloria, etc.) in prestigious places, and also sing for humanitarian causes.
Les Petits Chanteurs de France will be on tour in the Southwest of the United States this Spring 2024. They will offer concerts including music from the sixteenth century to the present day, patriotic songs - and the well known Hallelujah from Handel, Ave Maria from Gounod, as well as music pieces of the French folklores and patriotic songs. They will also exclusively sell their last CD.
This choir of 16 passionate boys and teenagers, from 9 to 18 years old, is conducted by Veronique THOMASSIN-OLIVIER, and accompanied by François OLIVIER, who is also the Titular of the Choir Organ at the prestigious church St. Eustache at Paris (France).

NO RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE WALK
Parents and students we need your cooperation as we remind families to walk safely as they exit the school. There is to be no running down the sidewalk or along the dirt. Parents please make your children walk with you and do not let them run. Our goal is to keep all of our students safe!
STAFF PARKING LOT CONCERNS
The Staff Parking Lot off Eastern Ave is assigned for staff parking, assigned foundation parking, handicapped parking, and school visitor parking only!! This lot is not for student drop off and/or pick up. Parents and Visitors are STILL parking in Foundation Spots. We have resorted to placing cones in those spots to keep these spaces reserved for the intended families. The Foundation spaces are purchased annually and no one else is able to park in these spaces for any reason. This includes: dropping off a student, dropping off a lunch, picking up a sick student from the office, or any other reason.
The Staff Parking Lot off Eastern Ave is assigned for staff parking, assigned foundation parking, handicapped parking, and school visitor parking only!! This lot is not for student drop off and/or pick up. Please do not use this lot because it is closer, or that you do not want to use the loop, or that you do not want to use the church lot. We have had numerous traffic jams due to people using this lot when they should not be. We are also receiving complaints from those individuals who are authorized to use those spots as well as delivery drivers who are authorized to use the loading zone.
