This is our last week of March and it's been a whirlwind of a month! The children have been doing so well learning all about Lent, Stations of the Cross, Saint Patrick and Saint Joseph. Today is the start of Holy week; Palm Sunday and this week, as a class we will be concentrating all about Holy Week. Thursday is our Easter Celebration, please feel free to bring items that you have signed up for earlier (if you like!), we will also as a class on Thursday see the 8th graders put on Stations of the cross. I am very excited for the children to see this because they have been working extremely hard on learning all about the Stations of the cross. Thursday we are closed promptly at 12:30 and Friday we are closed for our Spring break. I do hope all of you enjoy family time and have a blessed Easter. Thank you always to all of my families for the continuous support!

Blessings to all,
Mrs. Donavan
