GREETINGS!
GREETINGS!
The weeks are now flying by! We are coming into the final stretch and the excitement for summer is upon us. On behalf of St. Rita’s staff, I would like to thank all of you for making staff appreciation just fun filled and with super surprises. A special shout out to St. Rita’s RPSA for their tireless efforts in making this past week so very special. Staff were treated as “Movie Stars!” We rolled out the red carpet for them and they each even had a 10 minute massage. The hardest part was getting staff back into their classroom! The lunch from Olive Garden was spectacular. I am sure their new sunglasses will come in handy. And to wrap up the week, Friday’s gift card and treats were just amazing. Thank you so very much. Everyone was very grateful! We cannot thank you enough. We are beyond blessed by such a very loving and caring community. You all rocked it.
We are looking forward to our Spring Concert. Mr. Scaffidi has been preparing us for a fabulous concert. In addition, celebrating our favorite saint-St. Rita on May 25. It is a beautiful day starting off with each class carrying a banner and in parade like fashion we work our way to church, Mass and the 3rd grade play. We will learn all about St. Rita and her life. We also start the Novena on Monday, May 15. Please join us in the novena. It is on-line.
Many Blessings,
Dr. Sue

The year has been amazing and wow they are almost in 4K. We have learned so many new and exciting things this year. Some of their favorite things have been the Lord's Prayer Song, Scholastic games, sand in the sensory table, and anything related to art. Some of their favorite classes are no surprise, recess, lunch, and gym. I feel those are many of our fondest memories as a child. They have learned letters, played games, managed the bathroom, and can stand in line. They know their name and can spell it too. Look out 4K they're coming for you. Have a blessed summer.

The end of the school year is quickly approaching and we still are having lots of learning fun. One of our highlights is that we have caterpillars, wait…chrysalides, and are hoping for Painted Lady butterflies next week. The root for view garden is a hit! We can see the roots growing underground. We are finishing up our Happily Ever After Reading program with the unit called ABC Book. 4K has worked really hard on learning to print their letters and numbers starting at the top and the sound the letter makes. Most importantly, we have learned about how much Jesus loves us and how He came to Earth to save us from our sins so that someday we may live in Heaven with Him forever.
Everyone have a great summer and keep reading!

CELEBRATION OF ST. RITA MAY 25
CELEBRATION OF ST. RITA MAY 25
Who is St. Rita?
Santa Rita is often referred to as Saint Rita of Cascia — an Italian widow and Augustinian nun who lived from 1381 to 1457. She is known at the Patroness of Impossible Causes and became a nun at age 36 after the death of her husband and her twin sons. When she was around 60 years of age, a small wound appeared on her forehead while she prayed. The wound was considered a partial Stigmata in reference to the crown of thorns that encircled Christ’s head, and she bore the wound until her death at age 76. When her body was prepared for funeral and later exhumed over the years, her forehead wound remained the same with glistening light reflected from the drops of blood. Her body also showed no decomposition and she was declared incorruptible.
Saint Rita forever became associated with a rose. When nearing the end of her life, she asked a visiting cousin to bring her a rose from her old home. Her cousin complied and was surprised to find a single rose blooming in the January garden and brought it back to Saint Rita.
The purpose of this communication is to notify you that we will be celebrating her feast day on May 25th school wide.
The following are some of the awesome events:
St. Rita Novena begins on May 15 for 9 days.

General Football information
The Football Program operates under the overall RYS philosophy of “Giving Kids a Sporting Chance”. The objectives of this program are to develop the physical and mental well being of the individual, to increase self-confidence and self-respect, and to encourage leadership development. We wish to develop better citizens through team play and sportsmanship-like competition. Provide a quality physical education program, allow every youth player to participate, and develop their skills to the extent they desire. We teach a positive attitude toward competition and discourage the “win at all costs” attitude. The goal is to teach each player that they are a winner if they give their best effort-regardless of the score.
