One of our fun projects to celebrate Catholic Schools Week is Saints in the Hall! To inspire each of our students to become a saint, we are surrounding ourselves with depictions of holy women and men. Each classroom chose a saint to depict on the walls outside their classroom, and we’ll be posting them on our social media later in the week so you can vote for your favorite!

During Catholic Schools Week, we want to show all our volunteers some love! Please join us at school mass on Thursday, Feb. 2nd at 8:15am, then stay for an appreciation breakfast in Ross Hall afterward.

Have a friend who may be interested in applying for a seat for their student next fall? Send them to our open house! Share this RSVP link with them.

The PTO Uniform Closet will be open for free shopping after carpool ends on Friday, Feb. 3rd. Park in the north lot, enter the north doors next to the music room, then turn left to go to the meeting rooms across from the gym. Uniform Closet open until 4pm.

We are done accepting uniform donations at the school office for the time being. Please keep outgrown items until the next collection, or take to the Uniform Closet on Friday.

Join us Feb. 3 at 9:30am in the Atrium to help prepare materials for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. No need to be a celebrated artist.

You must have updated SE if you plan on driving on field trips, being a homeroom parent, or coaching a team, etc.

If your child is between 4 yrs. old and 17 yrs. old and not baptized, please plan to attend the Parent/Godparent Meeting on Sunday, February 12th at 10:45 in English and 1:30 in Spanish. Both will take place in the meeting rooms. Baptisms will take place after Easter. Parents and godparents are required to attend. If you want more information, or want your child Baptized, but cannot attend the meeting due to a conflict please call Judi Wilkinson 405-751-7115 ext 115 as soon as possible. This will be the only opportunity for Baptism of older children for a while, so please plan to attend if you wish to have your child Baptized.

Please pray for the mother of Mrs. Aleman for improved health. | Please pray for the healing and comfort of Sasha, granddaughter of Mrs. Belva Neal.
