Dear Parents,

The last week of October was a busy one!  On Thursday evening, our seventh graders participated in their commitment ceremony.  This special event had beautiful music and was a fantastic experience for students and parents.  We look forward to watching and supporting our seventh graders on their journey to Confirmation.  On Friday, classes came to Morrissey Hall lobby to "Trick or Treat" with Father Bob.  The students' costumes were very creative! 
 
There was also a lot to celebrate this past week.  Last Thursday, two teams of eighth graders competed in the Nazareth Scholastic Bowl.  All of our students represented St. Cletus well, and the red team won out of 20 teams!  On Saturday, our speech team took second place at the 2015 Fenwick Speech Contest.  Twenty-four of our students participated, and over half our team placed individually.  Congratulations to all our Cardinals!
It's ALWAYS a great week to be a Cardinal!

In peace,

Lauren Lewandowski
St. Cletus School, Principal
