From the Principal's Desk...
Parents and Guardians,
Today, we had our second Lockdown drill of the school year. Officer Robers was in our building walking the hallways during the drill and then conducting a safety assessment for our building. We are creating a plan of action together so that our school will be prepared in the case of an emergency. We will have one more lockdown drill this year to fulfill our requirement for the state.
Good luck to our 8th grade students who are making their Confirmation tonight! These students have spent the year preparing for this step in their spiritual journey as a Catholic. I look forward to watching them grow in their faith and responsibility in the eyes of the church. I would also like to thank their sponsors who have stepped up to be role models for these students throughout this process.
I hope everyone has a great week.

Shopping Cent$ Bonus Incentive
We will have a Shopping Cent$ Bonus Incentive this week - for every $25 in orders turned in on Thursday, 4/28, you will be entered to win a $25 generic Shopping Cent$ gift certificate.
There are only three more turn-in days this school year - April 28th, May 12th and May 19th. Let's finish the year strong! Remember, all profits go directly back to the school to help offset operating expenses, which in turn helps keep tuition increases to a minimum.
Now is a great time to stock up on cards for summer break. Headed to Disney? We have gift cards that can be used in the restaurants and gift shops. Heading on a road trip? Grab some Wendy's, Burger King or Cracker Barrel cards for the pit stops. Breakfast treats for the kids? Dunkin', Panera and Bob Evans to the rescue. And don't forget Speedway and Shell cards for your gas purchases!
