From the Principal's Desk
Dear Father Doyle Families,
We continue to study the virtue of stewardship this month, which is returning to God the first fruits of your time, talent, and treasure. It's wonderful hearing some of the many ways our students practice stewardship. One teacher writes:
This student has the gift of empathy. She is so receptive to her peers' feelings. She has been using this gift for God by helping students with their transitions from class to class and making sure they have all their materials.
How blessed we are to be in a school community in which we see saints in the making!
We're also excited for our upcoming production of Newsies, Jr.! A reminder that the show is just over two weeks away - Saturday, December 3rd and Sunday, December 4th. You can purchase tickets at the link here! You can also support our drama program by purchasing a shout out/booster for the program. For more information on boosters, see the flyer here.
NEW Extracurricular! Introducing Instructional Basketball for Grades 1-3
We are excited to offer a new 5-week instructional basketball program for our 1st -3rd graders. It will run on Mondays from 2:30 - 3:30 beginning Monday, November 28th. The cost is $25 per student.
