The Odyssey
November 8, 2024
From the Principal
Hello MQSCA Families-
We had a tremendously successful week of conferences! If you were unable to attend, please don’t worry—your child’s teacher will be reaching out to you. Our goal is for 100% of parents to connect with their child’s teacher.
This week represents the second-to-last chance to collect donations for our Catholic Schools Walk, which is aimed at enhancing our music program. The drawing for the TV prize will be held on Friday, November 22nd.
Additionally, we are collecting items for the St. Vincent De Paul food pantry. Please refer to the flyer below for a list of needed items.
A friendly reminder that Thursday, November 14th, is a half day, with dismissal at noon. Please ensure you make arrangements to pick up your child promptly at that time. There will be afterschool camp available for those who are signed up, but kindly note that there will be no afterschool camp on November 15th.
Lastly, please review the new information shared by Mrs. Satchell regarding our Christmas programs. Note that there will be a separate Christmas program for K3-1st Grade and another for 2nd-8th Grade. Be sure to check the flyers below and mark your calendars for the correct date!
In Christ-
Mr. Lee
