Corrected dates for national CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK: January 31 - February 5, 2011. The National Catholic Education Association sets the last Sunday in January every year as the beginning of this week to celebrate our Catholic Schools across the country. A list of events will be sent home next week.

We will still host our OPEN HOUSE on Sunday, January 23rd to celebrate the feast of St. Francis de Sales.


A message from our school nurse, Mrs. Spangler: I have been seeing students that are presenting with complaints of stomach ache, headache and general malaise. I find the common denominator is that many of these children have not had breakfast.
Why Eat Breakfast?
A Harvard University/Massachusetts General Hospital study of children in Philadelphia and Baltimore schools discovered that students who usually ate breakfast had improved math grades, reduced hyperactivity, decreased absence and tardy rates, and improved psycho-social behaviors compared with children who rarely ate breakfast.

Please be sure your child has enough time in the morning to eat something before coming to school!
