Parents and Students,
Thank you to families and staff who joined us at the Soles for Catholic Education Walk this past Saturday. A special thank you to Brion Collins for carrying one of our flags for over two miles that morning! It was a beautiful Fall day, and it was wonderful to see such a large turnout in support of Catholic education. We hope you can join us next year!
Following His plan,
Mr. Garvey

WHAT'S NEW?
Parking Reminders: This is just a friendly reminder that parents should park in the lot between the parish and school entrances during the school day, not on the other side of the orange cones. This is for the safety of children during recess. Parents can park in the safe parking zone past the cones before and after school only. Thank you for your understanding!
Be a Superhero to Others: Donate gently-used books on Wednesday, November 6! Bring in at least one book, and your child can dress down that day! These books will be donated to students in need in the Milwaukee area as our Book Fair Service Project. Share your Reading Super Powers!
