Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our students are completing ASPIRE summative testing this week. Tests are being administered Monday through Thursday.  Our students are trying their best!  We will send out score reports once they are available from the Office of Catholic Schools.
 
This coming weekend, our second graders will continue to prepare to receive the Sacrament in their First Communion Retreat.  We wish them luck!
 
We had a great weekend and great turnout at our inaugural 5K this weekend; over 200 participants! A huge thank you to our chair, Eileen Dorchinecz, and every single volunteer and participant. You helped make this event a success! 
 
It's a great week to be a Cardinal!
Blessings,

Lauren Lewandowski
St. Cletus School, Principal
