Students are encouraged to showcase and celebrate Hispanic heritage by wearing traditional or culturally representative attire from a Hispanic country or region. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about, appreciate, and celebrate the diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of the Hispanic community.

We encourage families to make this a meaningful and joyful experience for our students. Participation is completely encouraged, but not required.

A few things to keep in mind:

The presale link will be available until dismissal on Wednesday, 10/21.
Families who purchase through presale will be able to pick up their tickets at our designated presale booth on the day of the event.
Tickets will not be sent home with students to avoid them getting lost. All presale tickets will be available for pickup at the event.
Feel free to share the presale link with friends and family who will be attending!

Ordering through presale is a great way to save a little money and save time by avoiding the longer lines at the festival.

Red-Ribbon Week 10/26/26 - 10/30/26

10/29/26 School Mass to celebrate All Saints

We are excited to announce that during our School Mass on Wednesday, October 29, we will be celebrating the Feast of All Saints! This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn about and honor the holy men and women who have gone before us as models of faith and virtue.

To participate in this special celebration, students have a few options for how they may dress for Mass on October 29:

Dress as a Saint: Students may wear a costume representing their chosen saint.

Saint Poster: Students may wear their Mass uniform and wear a poster around their neck featuring information and images of a saint.

Regular Mass Uniform: Students who choose not to dress up or wear a poster are expected to attend in their standard Mass uniform.

We encourage you to talk with your child about their favorite saint or help them discover a new patron saint in preparation for this special day.

Thank you for your continued partnership in fostering both the spiritual and academic growth of our students. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the school office.

May God bless you and your families,
