Happy Wednesday!

As I walked around on Saturday morning at the Jr. Daffodil Parade in Proctor, I was struck by how blessed I am to be a part of the Holy Rosary community. We really have an amazing group of families. It was a fantastic turn-out, great weather, and the band sounded fantastic! Special thanks to the Noltings for all of the work they put in on this special event. I ran into several former Holy Rosary families who said they were so pleased to see such a big crowd representing the school. We continue to build our school bigger and better and enrollment is all about "word of mouth". So, don't forget to tell your friends what a great school we have...if they sign up, you even get a free month of tuition!!

Have a great week!

With Blessings,

Katie Dempsey
