January Peacebuilders!
5th grade service project for Active Day
Preschool Mardi Gras parade
Principal's Corner
Greetings,
I hope everyone was able to get some rest over the extended and snowy weekend. I hope the students had a chance to recharge and are ready to focus on school. Also, the Lenten season is a good time to center ourselves with God.
I would also like to thank Sherry Kelley for saving the day Friday at bingo. The scheduled volunteer had surgery and was not able to be there so Mrs. Kelley stepped in to make sure bingo ran smoothly. Thank you again Mrs. Kelley!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
Here's What's New:
2016-2017 Registration
Please make sure you turn in your registration paperwork and fee before February 19th to avoid paying an increased registration fee.
Rice Bowls
During Lent our school will participate in CRS Rice Bowl. In the first 40 years, more than $250 million has been given through CRS Rice Bowl to support programs that prevent hunger and poverty around the world. Of that, $62.5 million went to programs in the U.S. through local dioceses and $187.5 million went to CRS programs overseas. Rice bowls should be returned to the school office by March 23rd.
Art help
Ms. Barb is in need of towels for the art room. If you have any old towels you would like to donate she would greatly appreciate it.
Battle of the Rock
Please join us on Friday, February 19th for our winter pep rally. We will be celebrating our basketball teams and cheerleaders. We will begin at 1:00 in the gym at Georgetown College.
