Morning Announcements for Tuesday, March 31
We are in the fifth week of Lent and the daily Gospel readings focus on the coming Passion of the Lord.  
“Holy God, Jesus knew what was to come, and yet he remained faithful to his mission.  May we be faithful to you and your commands, even when it is difficult.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen”

Congratulations to the following students who have met their AR goals for the quarter:  Adalyn Beebe and Adeline Delahunty

Thanks to all who joined our Zoom Open House last evening.   It was good to see so many of our families.   We will schedule more meetings in the future.

The governor announced yesterday that school buildings will remain closed until at least May 1^st.  Our teachers are continuing to work hard to establish our new routine of distance learning. 
 
Paper and written assignments may be dropped off at the school Thursday between 7:30 and 10:30 am.   We will have a box for each class.   We will be set up for “drive-thru” type of service.    Additional drop-off dates may be scheduled in the future as needed. 

You can also pick-up your Malley’s Candy Thursday morning during the same time, 7:30 am to 10:30 am   Boxes will be arranged in alphabetical order.  Thanks to all who supported the Home and School Association sale.

There will be no classes or meetings scheduled on Good Friday and Easter Monday.   Most teachers will begin a regular schedule of Zoom meetings and Google Classroom assignments on Monday.   If you need a break from school work other than Easter weekend, this week would be the time to take a day or two.   We understand that every family situation is different with our new distance learning.   Other than Zoom class meetings, schedules are flexible but students are still responsible for completing assignments. 

Please call the school or email mritzert@cdeducation.org or help or questions about EdChoice and other scholarship applications.
