IMPORTANT: Your Voice Helps!
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Grandparents:
Please see the information below regarding a proposal for the State of Connecticut to further study the possibility of Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs) for families. ESAs would provide funding for each family to use for the educational choice for their own children. If a family chooses a Catholic school, the funds would go toward their tuition. The Connecticut Catholic Conference is working hard on our behalf to move this bill forward and asks our help in sharing this information with our school families. They also provide a convenient way to get an email message of support to each person’s legislator, the sooner the better.
Click here to contact your legislators. On this page, you will see a brief backgrounder and a pre-written message. When you provide your address and zip code, the program will pair your message with your state legislators.
This must be done today or early tomorrow as the bill is going up for vote in the house tomorrow!
Thank you for your efforts!

Mother/Daughter Tea Update
From the HSA: We had a wonderful response to the tea and are looking forward to sharing this special time with all of the mothers and daughters. We are in need of volunteers to help with set up on Friday, May 18 right after school, and Saturday, May 19 at 10:15. We are also looking for small chalkboards or white boards (8x11ish) that we could borrow for the event. If you can help, or if you can lend a chalkboard, please contact event chair Kate Davis at 70greenbean@sbcglobal.net. Thank you!
