Dear Notre Dame Families: 

 

Welcome back and Happy New Year!!  I hope that you are all rested and that 2012 is your best year ever!

 

Plans are being made for this years Catholic Schools Week which takes place January 28th to February 5th.  Please click here for more details: Catholic Schools Week

 

 Notre Dame will be hosting an open house/breakfast on January 29th to say thank you to the parishes and show off our school to prospective students.  The open house will be after masses on the 29th and will run from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.  The Notre Dame teachers will be there to greet and answer questions. Tell your friends or better yet bring them to mass and the open house.  More details to follow.

 

Exciting technology news!  Notre Dame received sixty new flat screen computer monitors on the first day back at school.   What a fantastic way to begin the year! A big thank you goes out to the donor (who wishes to remain anonymous).  Look for more news on the technology front.

 

Just a reminder for the those interested in helping the Notre Dame alumni reunion, the first planning meeting is in Dolski Center on Thursday January 12th from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
