ππThe Month of May is dedicated to Our Blessed Motherππ
Morning Rosary: Students are reminded to bring their Rosaries to school each day. Throughout this month, we will honor Our Blessed Mother for the graces and gifts she brings to us. Each morning, at 8:20 AM, we will meet in the courtyard to pray the Rosary. All are invited to join us! We also celebrate our devotion to the Blessed Mother in a variety of ways - including the preparation of a May Altar in each classroom - we encourage all of our students to bring flowers to class!

Through their dedication, compassion, and commitment to Catholic education, they inspire our students each day to grow in faith, knowledge, and character. We are so grateful for the countless ways they go above and beyond to support and guide our students.
Thank you for all that you do! You are truly a blessing to our school community!
