Happy Catholic Schools Week! What a privilege to be a part of Catholic education. Thank you to all our parents who sacrifice to send their children to our school. I know I speak on behalf of all our staff when I say we are honored to work with you in the education and formation of your children. We are blessed to have a Catholic school in our community. Here we are able to teach children not only about history, science, math, and reading, but also about their purpose. Each of us is created by God and for God. God loves us and has a plan for our lives. Our true end is heaven. That goal gives our lives purpose, and it's important that our children know that! At a Catholic school we are able to speak the truth freely. What a blessing!

This will be a busy week. The schedule for Catholic Schools Week is below. Please make sure to read through the items in the Monday Mailer today and return permission slips to school as soon as possible. Make note of dress code changes this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Saturday we have an all-school potluck at Immaculate Conception Parish. The potluck will start around 5:00 p.m. Families are invited to attend the 4:00 p.m. Mass and then head over to the parish hall. Food may be dropped off at the parish hall before Mass. We would love to see all our families attend! Please join us!

Our Caught Being a Christian Award this week goes to Benjamin Simms. Ben is one of our third grade students. He practiced the virtue of orderliness by straightening all the papers in the hand-in box without being asked. Great job, Ben!

God bless,

Angela Oller
