Please make sure all “Intent To Return” forms are turned in by the end of this week.

This Mass will be led by 1st grade. We will have early dismissal on Holy Thursday at 12:30. School will resume on Monday, April 16th, 2012. Have fabulous Easter Break!

Please continue to be encouraging to our 6th and 7th graders of remaining true to their Lenten commitments. 6th grade has decided to give up gossip, bragging, and negativity for Lent. 7th grade has decided to give up dessert (with the exception of birthday cake and 7th Grade Fundraiser ice cream). Both classes have also committed to giving our Lord 5 minutes of dedicated daily prayer time free of distractions and have adopted “prayer buddies” to pray for everyday. Everyday during Lent, both classes will reflect on Lenten scripture and participate in Lenten activities.

This week, Math 8/7 will focus on Algebraic Addition, Scientific Notation, and Volume. Spanish will focus on Semana Santa: Holy Week and Catholic Traditions in Latin America.
