News From Mrs. Bethune:
Hello all,
We had a great week of school. The STARS event happening tomorrow is super exciting and the students and teachers have done a wonderful job making baskets to put on the auction (see pictures below). If you have not gotten tickets to attend, there are still tickets available at the rectory. We have received official word that as soon as all the money for the playground is in, we are ready to begin construction from the Diocese. We are at 70% and hoping with the proceeds from the STARS event tomorrow, we will be able to get to 100%. Thank you all for your support through this whole process!
With the good news of last week on the doors, we are still in anticipation of the crew and their arrival. We have not really been given a time frame but expect them any day. During this time, we ask that you use the gym door entrance as the main doors to the school. (Please see map below). Please understand that we do not have a buzzer at those doors but will be watching with our cameras to help get you inside if you come outside of our typical entrance or exit times. Also, please feel free to call the office and let us know you are coming and we will watch for you. They are estimating it taking up to 3 days to complete the project. We will let you know when we are back to normal! Thank you for your help and patience with this process.
Due to the short week next week, we will not be having a newsletter go home. Mrs. Colton had a beautiful baby girl this morning, Hope Gianna. Please keep her and her family in your prayers as she will be having a surgery to remove the cancer and stop from spreading at the end of December. We are so thankful for all she does for the school and are so excited for their new bundle of joy! Melanie is doing well and is so thankful for all of your prayers!
Have a great weekend and a blessed Thanksgiving. We are so thankful to you and your families for the constant support of our wonderful school!
Mrs. Leah Bethune
