Mark your calendars for our Parish Mission on March 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Seventh and eighth graders needing service hours or just wanting to help out may consider volunteering for the following: Babysitting during the Parish Mission from 7:30 – 8:45 p.m. Setup and cleanup for hospitality each night of the Parish Mission.

Moms and dads, please consider joining us at future FSA meetings and bring your creative ideas with you. If you don’t think you're a "creative" person, you’d be surprised at how easily ideas come about just through conversation with other members!
Parents, please follow the school drop-off procedures (page 29 in our school handbook) in the morning when you are dropping off your child. If you arrive early for morning care, please do not block the driveway to the parking lot north of the school building. Thank you for your kind consideration.
