Hope everyone enjoyed their day off yesterday, and stayed warm. We do not go outside if the feels like temperature is below zero, however, students should still be prepared by having all of their hats, gloves, scarves, and snow pants daily.
Next week we celebrate Catholic Schools Week. We will have a variety of activities happening throughout the week. Please see the list of events and activities below. Have fun participating in the out of uniform theme days.
Drop off reminders: Please make sure to use the car line until you see that the adults have reentered the building.
Pick up reminders: Pull forward in the parking spaces at all times. Cars backing out of spots slow down the flow.
Espero que todos hayan disfrutado su día libre ayer y se hayan mantenido calientes. No salimos si la temperatura es bajo cero, sin embargo, los estudiantes aún deben estar preparados teniendo todos sus gorros, guantes, bufandas y pantalones para la nieve todos los días.
La próxima semana celebramos la Semana de las Escuelas Católicas. Tendremos una variedad de actividades a lo largo de la semana. Consulte la lista de eventos y actividades a continuación. Diviértete participando en las jornadas temáticas sin uniforme.
Recordatorios para dejar: asegúrese de usar la fila de automóviles hasta que vea que los adultos hayan vuelto a ingresar al edificio.
Recordatorios de recogida: avance en los espacios de estacionamiento en todo momento. Los coches que salen marcha atrás ralentizan el flujo.

Kindness is more infectious than hate. When we are young it can be easier to be kind but also easy to follow the crowd even if the crowd is cruel. Don’t be tempted to follow others just to be accepted. Follow your heart and be committed to kindness. In time others will follow you.
