May 11, 2016
Dear Parents,
 During the month of May let us continue to pray to our Blessed Mother for her assistance and her grace.
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Have a great week. Sincerely, Marian Hutson Principal

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:
