Week of 4/16/23
Dear School Families,
I hope that you had a wonderful Easter break! Today is Divine Mercy Sunday. Today we remember Jesus’ words to Saint Faustina, “I am love and mercy itself; there is no human misery that could measure up to my mercy”. May we always remember that our Lord’s mercy is unending.
Several safety updates were made to our campus over the Easter Break. Please see this week's IRIS Alert for more details.
Staff from the Department of Health will be on site on April 27th and 28th to administer vision tests for students in grades PreK 4 through 1st grade.
On April 4th, our 3rd grade students had the opportunity to meet with Immaculate Conception 3rd grade students from Fort Smith, Arkansas via Zoom. The students enjoyed asking each other questions in preparation for their pen pal exchange. Thanks to Instructional Coach Sharon Johnson and Ms. Farrell for bringing this ELA project to life!
