Greetings,
Thank you to all who attended our annual “Spirits of the Season” event last Saturday. We had a sold out crowd, great food, tasty spirits, silent auction items (somebody is coming to school in a Fire Truck in December!), and cool raffles. It was a spectacular evening, and I can’t wait until next year!
Monday is Veteran’s Day. Thank you to those men and women who have selflessly served our Country. God bless you!
Blessings and Peace,
Mrs. Jamie Nowinski, Principal Lunch Supervisors Needed!
We are in need of volunteers for lunch duty on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for Kindergarten and 8th grade. We also need Lunch Supervisors for 2nd and 5th grades on Fridays. If you can help out please call the office at 708-598-8200. Thank you!
E-Learning Days
How it works: On days when we know that the weather or an emergency will keep students from coming to school due to school closings, students will be required to complete e-learning. Each teacher will have instructions posted on their web-page, and be available by direct email from 9-3 pm on the day of e-learning. Students will also be sent home with instructions before the e-learning day. The e-learning day is authorized by the Archdiocese to count as a full day of school.
This Poem was written by 6th grader, Devin Felici-ano. It is to be entered in-to the 53-Word Story Con-test from Prime Number Magazine. We wish Devin lots of luck with his entry. We are so proud of you!
