Mrs. Fortunato’s Message
A Prayer for Friendship
By Kelly O’Dell
“This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command… Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.” - John 15:12-15
Dear Parents,
The excitement is building today as we get closer to the end of our school day and dream about tomorrow night's magical experience! Our Jubilee Dinner Dance "Havana Nights" is going to be exceptional! The Jubilee committee has been working all day getting the room ready at Fiddler's Elbow Gold Course. Our student's artwork, carefully crafted themed gift baskets, and incredible silent auction items will be perfectly displayed. I look forward to a night of celebration with my favorite community of people. Go ICS!
MAP assessment sessions are just about complete. I will send information about our plan to share your child's test reports in the near future. Our students have done well and I look forward to the teachers having an opportunity to discuss progress and future learning plans.
The season of Lent is here! We will attend Ash Wednesday Mass on Wednesday, February 26th at 10:00 am.
