Dear San Felipe de Neri School Families,

Reconciliation Celebration

Thank you to all of our participating First Reconciliation families.  What a wonderful way to begin your family Lenten Season!  I am grateful to all the priests and especially Father Tom for his faith filled leadership of our sacraments.  Continue to have a prayer journey through the next several days until Holy Week’s celebrations.

Book Fair

As you know by now the Book Fair is being held in our gym.  The proceeds help us to purchase new books for our school’s library.  This also provides us for an opportunity to model money management and how our children can acquire a book or another thing when they are not earning any money right now.  Perhaps they can help grandmother or their aunt do something around their yards.  Maybe pull those awful weeds!    Thanks for helping us to continue to enjoy reading new materials.

Extended Care

After Spring Break Extended Care will be held in the gym area.  Our licensure process expects us to hold it there for the time being.   Our basketball season is over so all children will be picked up in the gym until the end of the year.   

Champions

If you did not hear the good news, the boys won the APIAL Basketball Tournament last Saturday at St. Pius, by only two points!!  Hurrah for the tiger’s team!

Spring Break

The office will only be open on Wednesday from 8-12 noon.   If you need to take care of anything or register a team for our March 25 Golf Tournament, that will be the day to call it in or come on by to visit with Annabel.  Have a safe and grand family vacation wherever you plan to travel!

8^th Grade Retreat

The mandatory 8^th grade retreat or the Pan de Vida begins Friday night, March 30 through Sunday, April1, 2012.  Make sure you save these dates for your 8^th graders please. 

Writing Assessments

The annual writing Assessments will begin on April 16 for the fourth and sixth graders.  Next year we will begin to add other grades for this assessment.

God bless you as you continue on your Lenten Journey!

Respectively,

Mrs. Nancy Suedkamp
