Enjoy the long holiday weekend with your family and friends and we will look forward to seeing you back at school on Monday, December 2nd.

This weekend, students participating in the Polish Nativity Castle (“Szopka”) Club will have their creations judged at the 39th annual Szopka competition at the Polish Cultural Club in Hartford. The event will be held this coming Sunday and is open to the public if you would like to stop by. Students, with much guidance from middle school teacher Mrs. Grondin, have put a lot of time and effort into making these beautiful palaces depicting the Holy Family and Baby Jesus. We wish them the best of luck in the competition! For more information on the event, please click HERE.
