Dear School Families,
In today’s Gospel (Mt 17:1-9), Peter, James, and John see Jesus transfigured before them. They hear God the Father say, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.". This Lent, may we experience a closer relationship with our Lord as we prepare for the celebration of His resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Deputy Superintendent Michael Coppotelli has asked that all school families make their voices heard by completing the pre-generated email to our State Assembly member, and State Senator to advocate for our Catholic Schools. We benefit from many grants which are at risk for decreased funding. Please use the following link to ensure that your voice is heard!
We have heard from Spotlight Theatre that there are still 10 spots available for their spring program. 4th grade students are welcome to register. Only the first 10 registrations will be accepted. Please go to www.SpotlightTheatreSI.org to register. The first meeting date has been changed to Tuesday, March 28th. Please email [email protected] if you have questions. Be on the lookout for a Flock Note flyer with updated information.

Our 5th - 8th grade students will be completing a daily agenda sheet this month in an effort to develop their autonomy and planning skills. Developing this habit of reviewing and reflecting on the day's lesson will help them during their time here at St. Clare and in their future endeavors.
