Dear School Families,

This past week we celebrated Ascension Thursday with a beautiful Mass led by our 3rd graders. We are reminded that we are called to continue Jesus’ work here on earth…to love each other through our actions and our words.

Congratulations to John Leone, a 2019 St. Clare Alumni, for being recognized as the Valedictorian of Msgr. Farrell High School and to 2019 St. Clare Alumni Brian Gillen, for his achievement as the Salutatorian of Msgr. Farrell High School. We are immensely proud of their many accomplishments and wish them continued success. Our congratulations also go out to the Leone and Gillen families.

This coming week our PreK and Kindergarten classes will participate in an in-house Wild Side trip on Monday, May 22nd. I’m sure they will enjoy meeting the various animals that will be on hand. 

On Tuesday, May 23rd, our 5th grade students will be presenting Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at 8:30 am in the school auditorium. It is sure to be a wonderful performance. Thank you Mrs. Treacy, Ms. Billera, and Mrs. Barricella for all of your work with the students.

Our 7th grade students will receive the sacrament of Confirmation on Wednesday, May 24th at 1:00 p.m. May they be filled with the Holy Spirit! 

Please note that dismissal is at 11:00 on the 24th. Students are invited to dress down on the 24th. Students are asked to bring in a $3 donation to dress down. As always, no slides, cropped tops, or ripped jeans, please.

This week is the last week for the pilot Chess and Creative Writing clubs. Thank you to all who helped organize these clubs. We hope to bring both clubs back next year so that more students can participate.

School will be closed on Friday, May 26th and Monday May 29th. 

Tickets for the reserved section seating for Aladdin Jr. are now on sale. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door on the night of the show, Wednesday, May 31st at 7:00 p.m. in the school auditorium. Our cast members have been working hard with Spotlight Theatre Company for what is sure to be a sensational show!

There are a few remaining spots for our Summer Art Program. Please be sure to send in your reservation, if interested, by Wednesday, May 24th.

Our Kiss the Year Goodbye program is winding down. Please be sure to submit requests no later than Friday, June 2nd.
