Shelby Bagby as St. Catherine of Laboure’ From the Principal
Dear Parents,As some of you have noticed the work on the convent is progressing. All the wood in the building is being salvaged before the exterior is demolished. Progress is being made.
The Red Ribbon Week was a huge success. We thank Ms. Mims for organizing the activities of the week. They included a Career Day as well as a Pep Rally with the faculty–eighth grade volley ball game. Thankfully, there were no serious injuries to the more mature team.
Finally, on Friday the Saints came marching in at Mass in an inspiring ceremony. After the Mass they visited classrooms and told their stories. Ask your children about this.
Remember that November 14 is Grandparents Day so let them know they will be welcome for a visit to their grandchild’s school on that day. It is a great time for the children to show grandparents their school.
—Dr. Gerard Toups
