Fight for Catholic School Funding

Lawmakers are poised to finalize a state budget on March 31, which is expected to include hundreds of millions more in funding for public education. It’s crucial that we add our voice to ensure that the state’s Catholic schools receive their fair share of funding for critical programs that support our students and teachers. Take action now to send a message to your elected representatives.

A SPECIAL DAY

As a culminating part of an integrated Spanish, Religion, Art, History, and Geography project, students in Prep 6 made a "mock" pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, Spain. Students have been studying about St. James the Apostle in religion and the church to which penitent pilgrims have walked from all over the world, since the medieval period, to see the burial site of Santiago (Saint James) de Compostela.

Students across all grade levels were encouraged to say "Buen Camino" as the Prep 6 students visited each classroom on their pilgrimage, reciting the Hail Mary in both English and Spanish along the way. Their journey ended with their arrival to Our Lady of Poland Church, which represented the Cathedral of Santiago.

Special Notes from Sister Kathy

We respect fully remind you that 

  1. there is a procedure for picking up children...both at dismissal...and for appointments. PLEASE be sure that you send notes in advance (before 8:45) 
  2. entrance into the building between 8AM and 3PM is via the front doors only. No student or teacher may admit you via the rear or side doors. Come to the front and go directly to the office.
  3. with the colder weather,  all children need to wear warm jackets or coats to school...along with hats and gloves.  Please be sure that your child's name is marked inside each item of clothing.
  4. assuring that our children are always safe and healthy is a role we all share. That includes having all updated physicals and immunizations....and following protocols for the administration of   medication, epipens, etc.  Please take a minute and review the note from Mrs. Shimkus  (in files below)
