We had a wonderful Catholic School’s Week. Thanks to everyone who participated and made it a great experience.  The student council did a great job keeping the student body busy with activities.  Last Friday, our Grandparent’s/Special Friend’s Day was a huge success.  The mass was wonderful, and the lunch with our 8^th grade boys playing in the band made a great afternoon.  Thanks again!

This week, please join us on Friday, February 7^th, at 7pm for a benefit concert in the auditorium. 

Our students and Mrs. Rodriguez have been preparing a show for a worthy cause.

 Hope you see there!
