Dear Parents, 

We are very excited to open our new playground next week! Lee Recreation will be putting the finishing touches on everything throughout the next few days, including pouring the surface for the playground. In order to ensure that the ground goes undisturbed while it dries and settles, we need volunteers to keep an eye on the playground from Saturday, October 29 in the afternoon through Sunday, October 30 in the afternoon. While there will be temporary fencing around the perimeter, we want to provide an extra layer of security for the new playground. If you are interested in volunteering, please check out available shifts on our sign-up page. You are welcome to sign up for more than one shift. We appreciate your help!
 
All are welcome to join us as Fr. Ken blesses the new playground following our All Saints Day all-school Mass on Tuesday, November 1. Mass begins at 8:30 a.m., and the playground will be blessed immediately afterward.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this new addition to our campus!

Schoenstatt Traveling Rosary Shrine: This month of October, in the midst of so much uncertainty, we turn to our Mother and Queen and implore her intercession. According to a reflection by Father Kentenich on our website, the Rosary is not only an opportunity to pray through Mary's intercession but also a chance to grow in likeness to Mary =E2=80=94 especially in her obedience to God. Our Blessed Mother promises special graces and protections to those who pray the Rosary! Please visit the sign-up page for more information and to sign up for a week.
