Important info and updates:

6th grade parents:

In appreciation for everyone's hard work with accreditation, Mrs. Blackburn has given us free dress this Friday, Jan. 25.  Job well done OLM!


This Friday, January 25 is the Crab Feed.  We are asking 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to serve at this dinner.  It is a lot of fun and a great way to serve your school.  Permission slips were sent home for this event.  We are also still in need of desserts.  You can earn a service hour by providing a nicely wrapped homemade dessert for this event.   

Catholic Schools Week is next week.  The kick-off Mass is Saturday, January 26 at 5PM at St. Patrick's Church.  Any student attending this Mass in their school uniform will earn an additional free dress day.  I will be at the Mass, so please make sure you see me, so that I can make a list of those 6th graders in attendance.

Next week we will also have Buddy Day.  Our buddies will be the 3rd graders.  I will let the students know who their buddies are on Thursday (tomorrow).  Please have your child bring a small gift ($2) for their buddy on Buddy Day, Tuesday, Jan. 29.  I thought parents might appreciate the "heads-up," so that you do not have to run out to the store at the last minute.

Thank you,
Mrs. Lorenzi
