Dear Parents and Guardians,

Can you believe it is the end of Trimester 1 already?  Time is flying and it's hard to believe Thanksgiving is almost here.  This time of year is a good time for reflection.  It is important to remember that we are all special and recognize that we are all blessed.  We encourage you and your family to be thankful for your blessings that you find in your everyday lives. 

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at parent/teacher conferences on Tuesday.  As a reminder, this day will be half day attendance for our students.  If you haven't already, please sign up for conferences with your child's teacher by Friday using the link below.   We also invite you to come visit our book fair and attend the author visit; hope to see you there! 

Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!
In peace,

Lauren Lewandowski
St. Cletus School, Principal
