NEWS AND NOTES

The students have been practicing hard for our Holy Thursday “performance.”  We are singing some new songs this year and the kids have done a great job learning them.  It’s a nice way for us to learn about Jesus’ Last Supper and why the Eucharist is so important.  Please join us on Thursday at 2:00 in the church for this special event.

First Communion is coming soon!  We have been hard at work preparing for this special time.  Take time after mass one day to talk about all of the things that you see in our church.  Our special school mass will take place on Wednesday, May 12th.  The students will come to school dressed in their Communion outfits and we will take a group picture after mass. 

Next week, we will be doing an “Easter Scavenger Hunt” using bibles.  If you have a bible at home that your child can use, please send this in by Tuesday.  Thank you. 

Holy’s Spirit’s special person day is going to take place on Thursday, April 24th.  Students in grades K-3 are asked to invite just one special person to visit our school from 9:00-10:30 that morning.  Angie Burck is still looking for volunteers to help with that morning.  Please contact her or the school office if you can help.  The book fair will also be happening that week.

We are enjoying this spring weather!  I will be trying to get the students outside whenever possible during these beautiful days.
