Principal's CornerGreetings,
I trust the students enjoyed their well deserved three day weekend. The teachers attended a professional development day at Lexington Catholic. The day started with a Diocesan wide Mass at Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary Church. After that, the teachers attended presentations on Virtue-Based Education, the Catholic Schools Textbook Project, and Differentiating Instruction.It is hard to imagine that Friday, October 17 marks the end of the first quarter. The students have put forth good effort in both academics and behavior. It is important that the students finish the first quarter and start the second quarter with the same effort. Please make every effort to have your child in attendance and on time. This reduces the distractions and increases the focus of everyone with the learning process.God bless and take care,
Dan MardellHere's What's New:
Parish Verification Covenants and Stewardship Forms
If you are Catholic, you should have received a letter with the above mentioned forms last week. Mr. Mardell and Fr. Linh ask that you return these forms as soon as possible. If you have turned in your Stewardship form at church we will get a copy of it. Thank you!Fall Pep Rally
Our annual Fall Pep Rally will take place at 10 am on Friday, October 24th before the early dismissal. Any student athlete participating in soccer or cross country should wear their uniform top over their PE shirt and their appropriate pants (navy or beige). The Cheerleading squad and Dance team will come out and help "Pep" up the crowd and help Bernie and Mr. Mardell find the Peppiest class worthy of the coveted spirit stick. Come early and join the fun!! If you are available to help with setup or during the pep rally, please contact Maria Pearl at [email protected].
