Dear Parents and Guardians,
 
I hope everyone enjoyed their long, beautiful weekend.  Prior to our break, we've been busy celebrating!  Eighth grade had a beautiful Graduation Mass and Ceremony.  PK and K had lovely performances at their end of the year celebrations.  All our students are looking forward to Picnic Day and summer vacation. 
 
I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all our volunteers!
Volunteers are people with extraordinary hearts.
They offer the gift of their time to teach, to listen, to help, to inspire, to build, to grow, to learn.
They expect no pay, yet the value of their work knows no limit.
They've known the unexpected joy of a simple hug.
They've planted the tiny seeds of love in countless lives.
Volunteers are people who reach out and take a hand and together make a difference that lasts a lifetime.
Thank you for all you do!  With your help, our school is a better place!
 
Don't forget to join us at our end of the year celebration Mass on Friday, June 3, at 9:00 a.m.  It's always a great day to be Cardinal!
Blessings,

Lauren Lewandowski
St. Cletus School, Principal
