Dear School Families,

We are looking forward to seeing the students tomorrow when we return to school. We hope that everyone had a relaxing, enjoyable break.

In this week’s Gospel (Luke 6:27-38), Jesus shares with his disciples how to live a holy life. May we all find time this week to pause and reflect on our own actions and pray that we find the strength to live as Jesus instructed.

Congratulations to our 2nd grade boys (John Barricella, Joseph Chiarizia, Carmelo DeFranco, Lorenzo DiLeo, and Lorenzo Gerbino) who won the 3rd grade championship CYO basketball game. Well done!

Monday, February 24th is a $5 dress down day benefiting the Mother’s Club fundraising activities. No slides, cropped tops, or ripped jeans please. 

There will be a Mother’s Club meeting on Wednesday, February 26th at 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria. During the meeting we will be discussing the new Student Information System which will be used for the upcoming school year.

The 7th and 8th graders will attend a science trip to the Staten Island Museum this week.

March is going to be a busy month!

On Monday, March 3rd we will celebrate Teacher Appreciation Day honoring our wonderful teachers.

We will begin the season of Lent with our Ash Wednesday Mass on March 5th at 10:00. Our 2nd grade students will lead the Mass.

There will be no school for students on Friday, March 7th as school is closed for a faculty conference.

Our Parish Mission (March 2nd, 3rd, and 4th), first grade St. Patrick’s Day Play (March 18th), Fashion Show (March 27th), and Mass with the Cardinal celebrating the centennial of our Parish (March 29th) are some of next month's highlights.

A list of upcoming events follows.

Have a blessed week!

Mrs. Olsen
