“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
- by Washington Irving

Dear Parent:

            I hope you had wonderful and blessed weekend with your family.  I would like to wish all the mothers a Happy Mother’s Day again!  I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day gifts. The children worked hard writing poems and stories for you all.   Our Walkathon and Field Day on Friday was a great success. The children and the teachers had a lot of fun!  We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our parent-volunteers who took the time to help us with all the activities.  We really appreciate your cooperation.

            The month of May is honoring the Virgin Mary and learning about her life.  We are asking the children to bring flowers for Mary on Thursday.  There will be the May Crowning immediately following the Mass.  Thank you.

Here are a few reminders for the week.
