From the Desk of Mr. Ruedinger
Last night we enjoyed a wonderful band concert performed by our Catholic Schools Band! Thank you to the students and Mrs. Paula Harder for blessing us with their musical talents. It is always a pleasure to see our children’s gifts displayed. The concert was video-recorded and will be posted on YouTube. We will share the link with all parents when it is completed, and you can share with family and friends.
A note from Mrs. Harder: CONGRATULATIONS to all band members! The students played well on their concert on Wednesday, May 15. Thank you again to the parents who support these young musicians!

You must register on-line at www.archmil.org and indicate you are associated with Christ Child Academy. If you have not previously been trained, now is a great time to attend a session.
