Today's Reading
| |
Fourth Sunday of Easter
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven,
raised his voice, and proclaimed:
"Let the whole house of Israel know for certain
that God has made both Lord and Christ,
this Jesus whom you crucified."
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart,
and they asked Peter and the other apostles,
"What are we to do, my brothers?"
Peter said to them,
"Repent and be baptized, every one of you,
in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins;
and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For the promise is made to you and to your children
and to all those far off,
whomever the Lord our God will call."
He testified with many other arguments, and was exhorting them,
"Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
Those who accepted his message were baptized,
and about three thousand persons were added that day.

AP EXAMS
We completed our first week of AP exams. We will continue testing on Monday, May 8th - 12th. Students who are testing have been given instructions on when and where  to show up for their exams. If they have any questions they should contact their teachers or Mrs. Uebersax. As testing will take place in the gym area, student access to that part of the school will be limited during the school day for the two weeks of exams.
FINAL EXAMS
Final Exams are scheduled for May 30th to June 2nd. The schedule will be available next Sunday. The school will be on an early dismissal schedule on those days, with dismissal at 12:30 and bus routes departing at 1 PM.

Click HERE to see the flier regarding the MBS Textbook Buyback Program.
Parents: It's time to think about selling your child's textbooks back to MBS, Savio's textbook vendor. Please see the flyer HERE for full instructions (you need to "sign in" your books on line BEFORE you bring them to Savio on June 1st.) The great news is that when you utilize the June 1st buyback, you'll be rid of those used textbooks and won't  have to pay for shipping to send them back! Not only do you get money for your books, but a small portion comes back to Savio SPA to be used for programs throughout the year! Any questions, please contact Julie Zimmerman at zmardle@aol.com or Michelle Callas at mrcallas@hotmail.com.
