As a reminder, the Lenten Rice Bowls (through Catholic Relief Services) that were sent home with your child/ren at the start of Lent, are now due back. Here was the information originally sent out regarding this collection:
LENTEN RICE BOWLS
Members of the SJS Student Council visited the classrooms to discuss the Lenten Rice Bowl program through Catholic Relief Services and hand out information. During Lent it is our responsibility to give Alms, or raise money for charity. Children were given the option to earn money over the next several weeks to put in their Rice Bowl or perhaps sacrifice a small portion of money they have saved. After April Break, Student Council members will collect the bowls and tally the donations by homeroom. Additional information regarding the Lenten Rice Bowl program is included with what is being sent home today or you can visit www.crsricebowl.org for a complete overview of this initiative.
As always, we appreciate any support your family is able to provide.
Below is the our page calendar for the 2019-2020 school year. This calendar is considered preliminary as the Archdiocese of Hartford will be announcing 2 professional development dates and those dates still need to be added to the calendar as days off from school for students).
