• We ask you to join us in congratulating and praying for our 2nd Graders, both school and CCD, who will be making their First Holy Communion this Saturday. The students are so excited to finally get to participate in this beautiful sacrament! Their teachers and you parents have worked very hard to make sure they are well prepared. We can all learn much from their wholehearted love of the Lord Jesus.

• The next meeting of the School Advisory Council will be at 7:00 PM tonight in the school library. Items to be discussed include efforts to increase enrollment, the Angel Program, campus clean-up, and the budget for 2008-2009.

• Mrs. Duff would like to say thanks to the students for a “job well done” during this year’s weekly library visits. At the beginning of the year, students were given library badges to which they added stickers each time they returned a book on time. Mrs. Duff says that there has been a tremendous improvement in timely return of books and fewer books were lost during the year. As a reward for their success, the top 20 students will be having a pizza party on Tuesday, April 29. Parents of students who qualified are being notified in this Monday Envelope.
