Dear Parents,
As we continue through the Easter Season and this month of Mary, let us pray to our Blessed Mother for continued strength. We strive to keep our faith and be reminded of the joy of new life after a time of great difficulty, as we learned from the glory of Jesus’s resurrection. Together we can reflect on this prayer from Pope Francis:
O Mary,
You always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm.
You know what we need,
and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after a time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God … deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez
FIRST COMMUNION MASS
Last weekend, we celebrated the Confirmation of 28 of our 8th graders, who are now sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This weekend, you are now welcome to join in the celebration of our First Communion Mass! This Mass will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday, May 14, at St. Peter’s Catholic Church.
GOD BLESS all of our First Communicants as they prepare to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus this weekend! Thank you to all our families and teachers who have helped them to receive this Most Blessed Sacrament!
COVID HOME TEST KITS
Through the local school district, our school has received a supply of free COVID home test kits for students. Yesterday, we distributed one 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.
STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS
This week, our Student Council Officer elections process will be coming to a conclusion. The final elections will be held this Friday at school. We are proud of all the students who are showing growth and courage as they open their hearts and minds to being our student leaders. Please keep them in your prayers during these final days of their preparations for the elections!
RE-REGISTRATION FOR 2022-2023
The completed re-registration forms are now overdue. Please submit this form if you haven’t done so already.
The $500 registration fee is also now past due, and will help to secure your child’s spot in their class for 2022-2023.
To reference the letter with the tuition rates and re-registration form, see the Class Dojo post from February 24, or call the school office to have another letter and form sent home.
