Dear Parents,

Spring has sprung!  Well, at least according to the calendar it has.  Thank goodness recess is back.  The students are thrilled to be back outside. 

I hope you had an opportunity to see the school musical "Aladdin."  The students did a marvelous job, and we are all very proud of them.

I have heard nothing but great things about our first Family Mass that took place this past Sunday at 8:00 a.m.  If you missed it, you will have another chance on April 26 at 8:00 a.m. Mass.  We look forward to seeing you at church during Holy Week and Easter to be able to pray together at this holiest time of year.

Peace,

Ms. Margaret Hayes

Principal

Attention Parents of All Winter Athletes

       Please click HERE to complete a coach evaluation survey for the past winter season.  If your student participated in more than one sport, complete the survey twice (e.g., once for volleyball and once for cheerleading).  You do not need to complete it more than once for head and assistant coaches.  List your coaches' names in the space provided and use the comment section to write any specific feedback towards a particular coach.  If you would like to complete an entirely separate survey for an assistant coach, that would be fine as well.  Your name is not required on this survey.  The survey will close on Friday, April 10.
