It’s hard to believe that today is the last day of school!
A few reminders for the summer:

All students should be sure to get any outstanding immunizations over the summer. Please see the school website (school.stclaresi.com) for a list of the required immunizations.
Please continue to grow in our faith by attending mass on Saturday night/Sunday.
Staffing Update
Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Jackowitz, has resigned her position to pursue another opportunity. We thank her for her time at St. Clare and wish her the best of luck in her new position.
Mrs. Raquel Powers, current PreK aide, will replace Mrs. Jackowitz next year.
