Principal's Corner
Greetings,
I hope everyone had a chance to get outdoors and enjoy this past weekend. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. We are so excited that Bishop John will be celebrating Mass with us on Tuesday. Last week we had our annual speech contest and I hope to be announcing the winners after Mass. According to the judges and teachers, all the students did a great job. I would like to thank the judges for taking time to help our school with this endeavor. I continue to be impressed with the hard work and behavior of our students as we move toward the end of the school year. Thank you for all you do for our school!
A special congratulations to Matt Drummond who received third place in his division at the state science fair! This is a great accomplishment - way to go Matt! Also, Kristin Drummond's science fair project was a nominee for the 2016 Broadcom Masters (Math, Applied Science, Technology, and Engineering for Rising Starts). Only 10% of middle school projects nationwide are invited to apply. Great Job Kristin!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
