Family Messenger, May 15, 2012



A Message from the Principal
This Saturday is our annual live/silent auction Mardi Gras Festival at the Incarnation Community Center. We look forward to seeing our school families and parishioners at this fundraiser. The proceeds from this event will support continued program improvements for the students as well as the school’s general operating expenses. Your support of this event is critical to justify the time and energy put in to planning! Sharon Conroy has given countless hours to plan a successful event and a fun night out. I thank all who have supported this fundraiser in any way, either by donating items, selling raffle tickets, working on committees, etc. Review your email inbox and look for the list of auction items this year and plan your bids ahead of time! Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,



Ms. Olivia Carrillo
Principal

Do I realize that Jesus asks me to love my friends and even my enemies, and that he will help me do so?
