Coming to school is extremely important! This year, we are tracking attendance percentage by grade. Congratulations to Grade 4 for having 98% attendance for September! Students in Grade 4 will have a special treat this week!

Donation from Merrimack College

On Friday afternoon, six students from Merrimack College dropped off school supplies and snacks for our Clubs and Tutoring Program! We are so grateful that they are invested in LCA and want to help our community! They are also looking forward to our Trunk or Treat!

Book Fair and Ice Cream Social

Bring the whole family! Wednesday night from 6-7:30pm at the Parish Center, come have ice cream, hang out with friends and look through the book fair! It's always a good time to get a book!

COMING SOON...

"Trunk" or Treat at LCA on October 31 from 5:30-6:15 in the Schoolyard

All Saints Party at St. Mary of the Assumption Gym on October 31 from 4-7pm, Saints Costume Required

On Friday, 15 prefects and 7 class representatives were announced. Prefects are 8th Grade students who help our younger students, help their teachers, set a good example, are motivated and dedicated to LCA and push themselves to be better every day. These students are seen as role models and leaders and are looked at as trustworthy, kind, responsible and students who embody our core values. Our Class Representatives are students in 7th Grade who will help the younger students have their voices heard at LCA. They will meet with younger students and bring their ideas to the older students. They are role models who younger students can look up to.

The Archdiocese of Boston has shifted the age at which young people receive the Sacrament of Confirmation to the end of Grade 8.

Confirmation preparation programs take place in parishes (as opposed to at LCA). Each parish determines the length of its Confirmation preparation program (one year during Grade 8 . . . or two years in Grades 7 and 8 . . . or other). To find out about your parish’s Confirmation Preparation program, all Grade 7 and 8 Catholic families should inquire and register at their parishes.

We hope all our Catholic students will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at the end of Grade 8!

Please do your "Brag" Sheet by October 10!
