"Notre Dame Style"       

Dear Notre Dame Families: 

Catholic Schools Week got off to a great start with a fantastic showing at the Notre Dame "Open House" this past Sunday.  Thank you Kim Desotell, Annie

Bongiorno and Jen Budde for organizing the Open House event. We gave over thirty tours to and lined up several shadow days for prospective students!!

Another big thank you goes out to Jen Budde and the Spirituality group for organizing all the events during Catholic Schools week. 

Thank you to Mr. Young, Mrs.Pagel, and Miss Freeman for organizing the talent show. Wow!!! Do we have some talented children!!!!  

On personal note I want to thank the entire student body, families, and teachers/staft for the unforgettable "Kindness Honors Kaftan."   I will never forget your act of kindness!!!!  Thank you!!!

There is a new Scrip sign up sheet which started in January. We need your help to make it work well. Please see details below.

Please register as soon as possible for the next school year.  Staffing decisions are based on enrollment.  The sooner you enroll the sooner we can solidify staffing for next.  Notre Dame is blessed with wonderful teachers/staff and I would like to be able to secure them at earliest possible date.  I  have included the same instructions for enrollment from last week.
