Bishop Watterson Wednesday News

May 4, 2016
Dear Parents,
The month of May is traditionally dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. Let us pray to our Blessed Mother for her assistance and her grace.
The Memorare O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful, O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen Have a great week. Sincerely, Marian Hutson Principal

Calendar Information for 2016-17
 As the Diocese of Columbus Office of Catholic Schools sets the framework for school calendars each year. We wanted to let you know about key dates and a significant change for the 2016-17 school year.
Key Dates First Day: Wednesday, August 24, 2016
Labor Day/No School: September 5, 2016
Christmas: December 19 - January 3
MLK Day/No School: January 16, 2017
Presidents' Day/No School: February 20, 2017
Memorial Day/No School: May 29, 2017 Last Day: Thursday, June 1, 2017 For the 2016-2017 school year, the customary week off during the spring will NOT coincide with the week following Easter. Instead of having an Easter break, we will now have the following days off:
Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Monday (April 13-17, 2017)
Spring Break during the week of March 27-31, 2017
By providing this information now, we hope to assist parents to plan vacations accordingly with these dates in mind. Keep in mind that it is more difficult for your children and our staff if you stretch your breaks by taking your children out of school before the break actually begins.
