Dear School Families,
As we begin 2023 we mourn the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and pray that he receives the rewards of his earthly faith and ministry.
Prayers are also requested for Anthony Spennato, a St. Clare alumnus who is battling a rare cancer. Anthony is a freelance photographer for the SI Advance. Please visit this link to learn more about Anthony.
Thank you to everyone for the many delicious Christmas treats, baked goods, breakfast, and lunch items that were sent in for the faculty and staff. We appreciate your kindness and hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas and enjoyed the break.
Nucci’s January Lunch Menu has been posted to the school website. Please be sure to place orders for the new month before we return to school.
This month will be a busy one with MAP testing and midterm exams. Students in grades 6 - 8 will take midterm exams in religion, math, English, science, and social studies. 6th - 8th grade teachers have shared the exam dates and have posted study guides. Please reach out to the teachers if you have any questions.
Students in grades 3 - 5 will also take a religion midterm exam this month. More information will be provided by the teachers.
MAP exams will be scheduled throughout the month of January.
8th grade yearbook activity pictures are scheduled for Thursday, January 5th. Students may bring sport uniforms to school to change into for the pictures.
Our 4th grade students will lead us in First Friday Mass on Friday, January 6th.
