Tomorrow will be a half day of school, 8:00 - 11:00 a.m. August 17 will be the first full day of school and opening school mass will begin at 8:00 a.m. at IHM. Anyone is welcome to attend our school masses Tues/Thurs!

Calling all parents! The mulch for our school playground is coming later than we anticipated, putting us in a bit of a bind! We are needing volunteers on Wednesday, August 16 between 6-8pm to help us move mulch onto the playground for the students so they're ready for recess! If you have one, please bring along wheel barrows, rakes, shovels, leaf blowers, etc. Please follow the sign-up link below from Mrs. Gottschalk & get your parent volunteering logged! THANK YOU!!!
