Dear Second Grade Families,
I hope you all enjoyed this beautiful weekend with your family. Thank you to all the parents and grandma for helping out in our primary center day. We enjoyed making our 100th day projects. We could not have done it without all of you. This week we will begin our Catholic Schools week on Friday with a Mass and Parent Appreciation Day. Please join us in Church at 8:30 a.m. Refreshments and classroom visits will be after Mass.
