Family Messenger November 16, 2010

Loving God,
You see the good in every person.
Help us to remember that we
are all your children.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.



A Message from the Principal

This Friday, report cards will be distributed to students in grades one through eight. Please take this opportunity to sit down with your child and praise his/her first trimester successes and accomplishments. This is also an excellent time to review areas in which your child can improve upon over the next trimester.

This Friday is also our 26th annual Jog-a-Thon. Students will have lunch from 11:15 – 11:45, and the Jog-a-Thon will begin at noon. Thank you to all who solicited sponsors to make this event successful. I would also like to thank Mrs. Anne Marie Guinane, our Jog-a-Thon chairperson, as well as all of the other parents who have been volunteering behind-the-scenes and will be volunteering on the day of the event.

Next week we dismiss at noon for parent-teacher conferences. ASP will be available from noon until 6:00 p.m. M&F Kitchenette will not serve lunch next week. Therefore, if your child will be in ASP, please send him/her with a lunch from home.

I hope to see you at the Jog-a-Thon!


Ms. Olivia Carrillo
