Dear School Families,

As we celebrate Palm Sunday, marking Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, we enter into the sacred journey of Holy Week. This week’s Gospel invites us to reflect on the Passion of our Lord.  May we all find time this week to prayerfully reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice for our salvation.

Congratulations to 7th grade student, Nicholas Tabeek on his award winning art entry in the New York City Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) 39th annual Water Resources Art and Poetry Contest. Nick and the other award winners will be honored at a reception on April 30th! We are so proud of you, Nick!!
