Weekly Updates
February 2019
Greetings,
It was definitely an exciting weekend for our school and parish. First, our elementary robotics teams placed second and third out of fifty teams at a competition in Louisville this weekend! The team members include Cade Blankenship, Liam Case, Evelynn Gordley, Calder Jansen, Tess Laco and William Gordley. Our elementary and middle school teams will be completing at state competitions within the next few weeks. Thanks to all the coaches for their dedication and hard work!
Our school and parish Heart to Heart Dinner Dance and raffle was a great success! Those who attended were treated to great food, music, and camaraderie! It was a wonderful evening celebrating Father Bob’s sixty five years of dedication to our diocese and supporting a wonderful cause. I would like to thank all the people who helped make this a great evening. Your support and help was fantastic! Truly, God is good all the time.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
