Dear Families,
It feels like we have been on fast forward since the beginning of the school year. While we have certainly missed all these fun activities, they sure fill the calendar up quickly. This week we saw a return of volleyball games with spectators. What a great experience for our students. This is the first for all our students who are on teams this year. Thank you to all our coaches!
Our RC Challenge teams will be competing this weekend at a tournament. Thank you to Mrs. Zochowski and Mrs. Steele for helping them prepare. Go Celtics!
Please keep our Grade Sevens in your prayers as they go to Grade Seven Camp next week. We pray that this experience brings them closer together as a group and they allow the Holy Spirit to work through them.
While this weekend is supposed to bring warm temperatures, the cooler weather and rain are expected to return next week. Please ensure your child is ready to go outside in all weather. Label their sweaters as they do tend to take them off at recess!
May the weekend bring you relaxation and family time.
Yours In Christ,
Mrs. Fonseca
