Dear School Families,
Today we celebrate the 4th Sunday of Easter. In today’s readings we reflect on suffering. In the second reading (1 Pt 2:20b-25) we read: If you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, this is a grace before God. We are reminded that Jesus suffered for us: He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. May we offer up any suffering we experience this week.
The state math exam will be administered on Tuesday, May 2nd, and Wednesday, May 3rd. Please be sure to email your child’s teacher with a cc to Mrs. Olsen ([email protected]) if you are planning to opt your child out of the test. Students who opt out must remain at home while the test is administered.
We are looking forward to our art show this Wednesday, May 3rd at 7:00 p.m. in the school auditorium. Thank you to all of our artists for sharing their talent with us and to Mrs. Bocchino for her guidance and hard work in preparing the students organizing the show.
