Dear Parents,

 

Thank you to all who have already taken part in this month's D4D at Little Joe's.  Tonight is the last night for the FSA Dining for Dollars at Little Joe's.  We appreciate all of your support.

 

This Friday our 8th graders will be presenting the Living Stations at 9:00 a.m. in church.  They will also be presenting the Living Stations on Good Friday at 7:00 p.m.  Please join us at one or both of these presentations--it promises to be a highlight of your Lent.  Don't forget the Holy Thursday Prayer Service that the 1st grade has prepared.  You will not be disappointed.  It is Thursday, April 17, at 9:00 a.m. 

    

Sincerely,

 

Margaret M. Hayes

Principal

 

Please join us for the "State of the School" on

Monday, April 14, at 7:00 p.m. in Morrissey Hall.

ATHLETICS

Attention Parents of All Winter Athletes

       Please click HERE to fill out a coach evaluation survey for the past winter season.  If your student participated in more than one sport, please fill out the survey twice (e.g., once for volleyball and once for cheerleading).  You do not need to fill it out more than once for head and assistant coaches.  Please list your coaches' names in the spaces provided and use the comment section to write any specific feedback towards a particular coach.  If you would like to fill out an entirely separate survey for an assistant coach, that would be fine as well.  You do not have to submit your name on this survey; it can be done anonymously.  The survey will close on Friday, April 18.
