Special points of interest:

· Fri., Sept. 27th-Blessing of the Animals.

This Friday is “Blessing of the Animals”. Please meet out front next to the picnic tables with your pet in the morning.  If you're unable to bring your pet, you may bring a picture of your pet or a picture of a relative’s or friend’s pet to be blessed.  Participation is completely optional, but the entire school will gather in front of the school to share in the festivities. All pets should be on a leash or in a pet carrier. All pets must go home after the blessing. Parents, please stay with your child and pet. If your child does not have a pet, and you do not have time to join us, please find one of us and let us know that your child is not with a parent so that we may have all  children accounted for outside.
