Hello Parents,
  This week will be the end of the first quarter-report cards will go go home on Friday, October 18th.  This past Friday students went home with a letter regarding the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  During conferences next week I can answer any questions you may have about this blessed event.  Please remember that all next week we are on a minimum day schedule-12:30 dismissal.  Also, next week is Red Ribbon week-each day has a theme.  Information regarding the theme-days went home in the family envelope.  I look forward to speaking with you all next week!
