Principal's Corner
Greetings,
The campus is a little quieter without our seventh and eighth graders. From all reports, it sounds like everyone is having a great time on their DC trip. I was able to attend the Rite of Confirmation on Saturday. It was great to see former alumni of our school and other parishioners continue their spiritual journey by receiving this special sacrament. Thanks to everyone who attended the VOICE meeting. Many have commented that it was a worthwhile and enjoyable meeting. I look forward to reviewing the information that was gathered. As we enter the holiday season, please keep your children rested and focused on school.
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell

Handbook Reminders
As we approach cold and flu season please remember to follow the Health policy in your school handbook. We are in close quarters so if your child is sick please keep them home. Also, don't forget that students can no longer wear shorts to school until April.
VOICE update
Thank you to all of the parents who attended our first Parent VOICE meeting last week! We are thankful that you took time to come help us gather valuable data on our Strengths, Weaknesses and Opportunities! Your input is being compiled and analyzed and in the coming weeks the School Board will be creating an initial action plan based on your input. Since the meeting we have heard positive reactions from parents who attended! Several have reported that it was fun, interesting and a good use of time. They have said that they enjoyed having the opportunity to have structured conversations with fellow parents and hope to do it again! Thank you to everyone who helped by planning, leading and participating!
