Dear Parents and Guardians,

Our Junior High students did a fabulous job with The Lion King Jr! Eighth grade was spectacular in their leading roles and sixth and seventh grades supported them well. It was great to see so many families at our sold out performances.

Our fifth graders graduated the DARE program this week. Our students are now more empowered to live their lives free from violence, substance abuse, and other dangerous behaviors. Congrats on completing the program!

Our second graders will be making their first Communion this weekend. We are very excited for them to receive Christ for the first time. We wish them congratulations on their first holy communion; may God's love and blessings be with them always.

It's a great week to be a Cardinal!

Blessings,

Lauren Lewandowski

St. Cletus School, Principal
