Dear Parents,

 

The sun is shining and the temperature is in the 40's!  Who could ask for anything more?  As we put this record-breaking winter behind us, we start to look forward to the many school activities coming our way, which include Confirmation, the Auction, and Parent/Teacher Conferences.  We will once again be signing up for Parent/Teacher Conferences on-line like we did in the first trimester.  Look for an e-mail coming soon.

 

I look forward to seeing you at all these events, and remember if you can donate in any way to our Auction, we would really appreciate it.  Our sincerest hope is that you can all be in attendance that night to help us celebrate St. Cletus School!  It will be a "Great Night to be a Cardinal!"

 

Sincerely,

 

Margaret M. Hayes

Principal
