Dear Notre Dame Families:

 

Can you believe it's already the last full month of school? This usually means a full calender of events...
  •  Our Notre Dame spring athletic clubs are busy with meets and matches. Check out the atheltic calender and support Notre Dame athletics.   
  • It was great to see the first communicants all dressed up for the May Crowning Mass this week. 
  •  
  • If you have some extra safety glasses, stop by Notre Dame Science Fair tomorrow from 9-11.  The Middle Schoolers and 5th graders have conducted some interesting experiments.  
  • The Middle Schoolers are also busy getting ready for their spring musical.   Mark your calenders to watch "The Lion King" on May 16th.
  • And much more...please make sure to read all of the "Additional Links" 

Just a reminder to check out the lost and found items at both schools.  Any items not claimed by Friday, May 17th will be donated.

volunteer14 Sign-up Opportunities
 Hello ND Families,

14 Sign Up Opportunities Still Available- Please Help!!!

First and foremost, a HUGE thank you for helping to volunteer for cafeteria and playground duty this school year.  We have had great feedback from parents saying they really enjoy seeing their child(ren) in their element and the teachers are very appreciative to have some down time to prepare for their classes.  This is just a friendly reminder that we are in the third trimester.  If you have not already, please go to our Sign Up Genius at  
  
and select your day and slot for volunteering for this semester.  We are asking each family to volunteer for one slot per trimester or more if you wish.  Keep in mind that your time spent volunteer for this program is worth double towards your required family volunteer hours.  Again, thank you for your help in keeping our children safe and our teachers prepared!
