Weekly News from the Office - Week of 9/24

I would like to remind the people who drop off and pick up students each day that the driveway off Exchange Street is only used as an Entrance before and after school.  Our drop off and pick up routes were designed with the help of our local law enforcement officers with the safety of our students and families in mind.  I would like to thank Mr. Earl for helping remind people of this procedure before and after school this week directing the drivers to the proper exits, Prospect and Savidge Streets.

I would like to thank all of our volunteers who helped make our Parish Festival a success.  I would also like to thank all of you who sold your raffle tickets and attended the Parish Festival last Saturday.  The proceeds of the festival go directly to St. Mary's School budget.  I would like to thank our St. Mary's School families who attended the 11:00 am Mass on Sunday,  We had a nice representation of students in uniforms to go along with our middle school choir leading the music under the direction of Ms. Shawnda Draeger.  If you haven't had a chance to join us for our Friday School Mass at 9:00 am, I would highly encourage you to make time to do so during the school year.  We are recognizing our students who are exhibiting the Virtue of the Week at the end of each Mass.

God Bless.
