Dear Parents, Parishioners, and
Benefactors,
As summer progresses several
projects are being completed at the school....A new storage shed has been
erected between the convent and the school providing us with much needed
space....A new PA system is being installed in the school providing us with
improved communication abilities....A new Smart Board for the lower grades
has been ordered thanks to donations to the 2008 Home and School Readathon....New
computers are being ordered for several classrooms.
We are also in the midst of
organizing the 2008 Church and School Auction. We hope many of you
will take the opportunity to attend this year's auction. Profits last
year amounted to over $60,000 and we hope to profit even more this year,
with your help!
We welcome Fr. Galen Long as our
new pastor and Mrs. Margaret Wilson as our new fourth grade teacher.
Both are eager to assume their new responsibilities and get acquainted with
our students and their families.
As we continue our break from the
regular routine of the school months, know that you are in the
prayers of the entire staff . We
trust you are enjoying a wonderful, exciting summer with your families.
In His Name,
Mrs. Parker

Special Thanks...To

ones in the past year...
In loving memory of Alex Dreher, Norma
Rempe, Pete Klein, Mary Thummel, Ron Foss, Alvin Morin, Herman Schippers,
