In this week’s readings we are reminded that we are all called to love one another; to share Christ’s love through our kindness to others. May we remember this as we go about our daily activities this week.
On Friday evening, our 5th, 6th, and 7th graders enjoyed a fun-filled party in the school gym! A special thanks to Mrs. Bongiorni, Mrs. Napolitano, Mrs. Carl, Mrs. Carpenito, Mrs. Galluzzo, Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Newell, Mrs. Palazzola, Mrs. Polizzi, Mrs. Seamans, Mrs. Siracusa, Mrs. Tellez, and Mrs. Vallejo for all of their help with the event.
This week, grades 3, 5, 6, and 7 will take the math state exam on Tuesday, May 7th and Wednesday, May 8th. Chromebooks will not be available for loan as all school devices will be used for the administration of the test.
We are looking forward to celebrating the work of our St. Clare artists at the Art Show on Wednesday, May 8th at 7:00 p.m. in the school gym. A special thank you to Mrs. Bocchino, Mrs. Contino, and our student artists for their hard work.
Our 3rd grade students will lead us at our Ascension Thursday Mass on May 9th. All students will attend Mass as it is a Holy Day of Obligation.
A special thank you to Mrs. Gardella for all of her hard work organizing our Plant & Book Sale which will take place on Friday, May 10th. Please note that Scholastic books and other items will also be available for purchase.
This Saturday, May 11th, our beautiful 2nd graders will receive their First Holy Communion. Our students are well prepared for their special day thanks to the dedication of Ms. Revello, Mrs. Rodriguez, and our clergy. May God bless them always!
There will be no school for students on Monday, May 13th as school is closed for a teacher conference day.
Last call for the St. Clare Summer STEM Science Pirates Camp! Registration for week 2 of the camp (July 8-12) will close on May 10th. There is currently a waiting list for week 1 of the camp.
It is with great pleasure that I share the link to the 2nd edition of The Crusader Chronicles, our school newspaper. Congratulations to our reporters, photographers, and editors on a job well done!
