Volunteer needed: I would like to have a parent volunteer to make cupcakes or some other special treat to celebrate the Blessed Mother's birthday. Her birthday is on September 8. We will also be saying a Rosary in our classroom (I am sure the Blessed Mother prefers prayers to cupcakes.) I would like the cupcakes for the students to celebrate with a special snack at recess. Please let me know if you would like to provide this. You can earn volunteer hours for your time. What a fun and easy way to earn hours!

We recently had the arrival of 4 new kittens, so I will be looking for homes for them. Two of them are already spoken for. Please let me know if you would like to provide a "furever home" for one of these cute and cuddly friends. They are still too young to leave their mom, but they should be ready to go in 5-6 more weeks...just in time to have them before the blessing of the animals Mass. I will post photos soon!
