Two First Reconciliation Parent/Guardian Sessions will be held: Wednesday, September 30 at 6:30 p.m. or Monday, October 5 at 5:15 p.m. at the Social Hall. These sessions are for parents/guardians who will be preparing their child (2 nd grade or older) for First Reconciliation this year. It is recommended that the reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation precedes the reception of First Eucharist. A parent/guardian is expected to attend one of the sessions for the child to receive the sacrament, regardless if you have attended a session in the past. Contact Kris Jensen if you have questions at 441-4944 or [email protected]

FREE & REDUCED BREAKFAST & LUNCH
Families are encouraged to fill out the Application for Educational Benefits (the free/reduced application). Schools receive funding for educational programs based on the number of students who qualify for free/reduced meals. The application is quick and all information is kept strictly confidential, no one other than authorized staff has access to the information. There's no difference at all in the lunchroom between students who received free/reduced price meals and those who don't. An additional benefit is that families who qualify for free/reduced meals may also qualify for a waived activity fee.
