We are looking forward to the Catholic Schools Week Mass at Blessed Sacrament Church at 11:00 tomorrow, January 28th. The Mass will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all of our Staten Island Catholic Schools! We hope to see many school families in attendance. Students should wear their school uniforms if they are able to attend.
A fun-filled Catholic Schools Week is in store for our students next week! Highlights are sure to be our Open House on Tuesday, January 30th and Comfy Cozy Student Appreciation Day and Talent Show on Friday, February 2nd. We ask all students to bring in food items for our Jr. Giving Circle collection on Friday to help fight food insecurity on Staten Island.
A note of clarification-- K - 8 students are invited to show their creativity on Mismatch Day on Thursday, 2/1/24 as they wear their school uniform in unique combinations. Students are invited to wear crazy hats, socks, or hair on Thursday as well. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions about the special activities scheduled for the week.
Special thanks to our students who will be sharing their talents with us at our Talent Show on Friday night. Tickets for the show can be purchased at the door on Friday evening. The doors will open at 6:15 p.m. Admission is $10 per person. Please note the 2 first rows on the right side of the stage will be reserved so that the family of the performers can move up when their child is on the stage. Thanks to Mrs. Bannon, Mrs. Carpenito, Mrs. Newell, Mrs. Sheehan, Mrs. Bonavita, and Mr. Greco for all of their help with this event.
Last call for sibling registration before Open House. Seats are limited in some grades.
Congratulations to Brielle Rosenberg and James Bongiorni who both tied for 4th place in the 1st grade and 2nd grade categories respectively in the CYO Christmas Art Contest. Well done!
Friday, February 2nd is the last day to order Valentine’s Day Cupcakes which will be distributed on 2/14/24. Please see the school website for more information.

We are grateful to the 8th Grade Studio Artists – Elena Brown, Christina Powers, Stella Quinones, Abigail Sheehy, Eva von der Osten, and Addison Ward – for their exceptional work in crafting a captivating mural for the PreK main hallway. Special thanks to Mrs. Bocchino and Mrs. Contino for their guidance in bringing this artistic endeavor to life.

Regular school attendance is an important component of academic success. Please make every effort for students to attend school regularly and for the full day. Students should only be taken out of school early for doctor appointments that can not be scheduled after school hours.
