Welcome to Holy Week, the most solemn week in our church. I would like to congratulate Kristin Drummond for finishing first in the biochemistry division at the regional science fair. She was also nominated for the Broadcom Science Award. This was quite an honor since this is a national award that recognizes some of the best middle school students in science. Also, Shea McGohon and David Reinhart finished first in state at the Knights of Columbus free throw contest. Olivia Noffsinger finished second in the contest. Congratulations to these students! Don’t forget that our middle school students perform the Passion Play at 9:30 am on Good Friday. This performance is a great tradition for our school. Everyone is welcome. Lastly, remember that Friday is an early release day at 11:15.
Have a prayerful Holy Week and a wonderful Easter!
God bless and take care,
Dan Mardell
