A Message from the Principal
The month of May is a special time when we honor Mary, the mother of Jesus. Mary showed courage when she put her trust in God and said yes to His plan for her. At each Monday assembly in May, the fourth grade class will lead us in the crowing of Mary. As we honor her this month, we remember that we are also called to say yes to God.
This week we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. This is the perfect time to show appreciation to teachers for the work that they do each day (and often nights!). This is my opportunity to thank the teachers and staff at Incarnation for their commitment to our students and to Catholic education. Thank you, teachers, for all that you do!
Finally, as Mother’s Day approaches, I wish all mothers and grandmothers all the best on their special day!
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

Scrip Tip from Mrs. Bunt
We're in the final stretch. You should be receiving in the home messenger your report of profits to date. You have until May 31st to continue to contribute for this calendar year. PLEASE NOTE we are having a little difficulty with eScrip reporting from September and no profits earned during that time have been included in this report. We are working on it and will have it resolved before May 31st. Please see me if you have any questions about this. REMINDER, we are an all-volunteer workforce and we do our best, but we make mistakes. If you feel that your profits are misreported, please come to the scrip desk (with your back-ups) and we will work to correct the error(s).
Teacher Appreciation Week and Mother's Day are upon us. Don't forget to purchase scrip to show your appreciation and love for your teachers and moms in your life. Bath and Body works has sent us some $10 off coupons when you spend $30 that I will hand out until they are gone.
