Dear Parents,
Thanks to all who were able to come help for the Halloween parties and parade. It was a great afternoon.
Our 7th/8th grade girls had their first volleyball game on Saturday. It was the first for a sports team from the upper grades for our school. Proof that we are growing. The girls did a great job, but eventually lost. It was exciting! I know they will get better and better with each game.
The Kindergarten class will have their special saints program after the school Mass on Thursday. We look forward to their "saintly" program.
We will also have a memorial in honor of Veterans Day at the flagpole next Tuesday after Mass. All are invited.
Have a great week, and remember to pray as a family.
Ms. Volker
