Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe that Spring Break is already here. Don't forget that we dismiss school at 12:00 on Friday to begin Spring Break and return to school on Tuesday, March 25th. Our traditional Kindergarten Stations of the Cross will be on Thursday at 2:15 in the church. The Primary Spelling Bee will be on Friday morning. After the Spelling Bee, the Student Council will have an Easter egg hunt for each class.
Our March tuition deadline falls during Spring Break. If possible, please try to pay this week. If not, the only day you can pay tuition without a late fee is March 25th, the first day we return after the break.
If you order items from our online shopping through April 15th, we will receive an extra 10% cash back from our normal 60% to 70%. Head for the shopping mall !!
If you are getting out to spring planting, doing spring cleaning, or doing any remodeling, don't forget to use our Scrip cards. Get your neighbors and relatives involved also.
Have a great break, and remember to pray as a family.
Ms. Volker
