Dear Families,
As we wind down the school year, we amp up the events. Our day-to-day activities may be different than the norm, we do things that are joyful and exciting, and occasionally a bit overstimulating for some of our (especially younger) schoolmates. Last week, we had an awesome K-8 Field Day led by Ms. Mackenzie and our 7th graders. Though freezing and wet, the warmth that was felt out there together, and the joy that was shared, was palpable. Speaking of palpable--- that afternoon, we had a schoolwide gathering in the gym for the 8th grade v. staff volleyball game (staff won!) An annual tradition, the volume could literally be felt. Had we had a decibel meter, it would have been off the charts. The joy we share is a gift. Thank you to all who made it happen. To the many hands who cooked and wrapped hot dogs, to the smiles that stayed on faces long after the initial excitement had faded-- how lucky are we to have it all. Thank you.
Tomorrow the joy continues with Principal for the Day, a coveted Auction Item! We welcome Mr. Seba to the office tomorrow, to lead us in many fun and surprising things! Tomorrow should be a day to remember too. And that’s not all for tomorrow either! We have the beloved Talent Show! Thank you to Ms. Savio and the Talent Show team for the work that you have done putting it all together, and to our many talented performers who are actively practicing their many acts. It takes courage to get up on the stage and share, so we applaud them all! Interested in joining? Please come to the gym tomorrow at 1pm for our 22 act show!
Other things are coming up and just around the corner-- next week we have the Light of Leadership Baccalaureate Mass Wednesday June 5th at 9am, and Graduation at 3:30pm that same day! All are welcome!
Lastly, if you haven’t already done so, sign up to participate in Loop the ‘Lupe, the parish’s largest fundraiser! Today I went around with Mr. Callanan, the Loop’s organizer, and we promoted it with all the classes that we could catch before lunch. Ask them about Ms. Hobbs and mud on her face (and maybe their part in that if they were K, 1, 3!) Fundraisers like this help to make in-parish tuition possible, and help to fund the many things that make our community special. The class with most sign ups gets an Ice Cream Party, and currently 2nd grade is in the lead right now!
Have a wonderful rest of your week!
