Dear Parents,
While we continue to pray to our Blessed Mother Mary during this month of May, we are reminded that without Mary and her courage, love, and faith in God, we would not have had our savior Jesus in our lives. We are still in the Easter season, so we continue to remember Jesus’ sacrifice and the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection.
Next week, we celebrate the 40th day after Easter, and that means we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension—when Jesus rose to Heaven, body and soul. In gratitude for and awe in Jesus’ glorious ascension, let us pray the prayer of the Ascension, while also asking God for guidance to keep up our strength and hope during these last few weeks of school:
God our Father,
make us joyful
in the ascension of your Son Jesus Christ.
May we follow him into the new creation,
for his ascension is our glory and our hope.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez

COVID-19 NOTIFICATIONS and HOME TEST KITS
As shared via SchoolSpeak email, there have been school COVID cases reported from last week and earlier this week. If you received notification that your child’s class was affected, please follow the directions given to you for testing and monitor your child for symptoms. Students in affected classes are required to wear masks while at school.
Through the local school district, our school has received a supply of free COVID home test kits for students. This week, we distributed another home test kit to each student, which may be used as needed. If your child did not give their test kit to you, please check their backpack for the test and keep it in a safe place for future use.
If you have any questions about the COVID home test kits, please contact the school office.
