Dear Parents,

Thanks for completing the WCEA/WASC Survey. If you have not done so, please know that the survey window will be closing on Tuesday, Oct. 25. Remember to take the 2 hours Volunteer Credit per family for taking the survey and let us know so your child can have Free Dress on Oct. 28.

Friday starts are very busy weekend with the 5K Walk kicking it off followed by the many family activities Friday evening, all day Saturday, and pancakes on Sunday morning. Thank you volunteers for making all this happen. Please see the article below that describes all the fun activities for the Parish Festival and our 5K Walk.

Finally, be sure to ask your child for his/her Parent-Student-Teacher Conference Confirmation Slip that went home with every student today. Please be sure to return the form back to your child's teacher by this Friday!!
