Help Needed: Church Liaison
** We are in need of a second CHURCH LIAISON to assist our students who will be reading at the various Masses during the 2020-2021 school year. Mrs. Modugno will be spearheading this effort for us (as she is doing this year), but we need a second helper that can assist her during school hours once or twice a month. If you are able to help, please reach out to Mrs. Zorger as soon as possible.
Aftercare Statements Ready for Pickup
February Extended Day usage statements are now available for pick-up from Ms. Jean. Please be sure to grab yours next time you pick up your child from aftercare.
