Grandparents’ Day
Next Thursday, May 7th, we will be honoring our grandparents. Mass will begin at 9:00 am. Grandparents may pick up their grandchildren at the front office from 8:15-8:45. Immediately following Mass we will have the crowning of Mary. A short reception will follow. We look forward to seeing all the grandparents. It is a wonderful day.
Progress Reports
It is mid-quarter again! Teachers will be sending home progress reports on Monday. Please take the time to review this with your child. Research shows that children perform better when they have the support at home as well as school.

On Thursday of this week our students participated in the Diocesan Rainbow Mass at the SportCenter. What a wonderful celebration for all the students in the Diocese of Owensboro. A representative from each school presented Bishop McRaith a wooden card along with some plants. He was very touched by this gesture from the schools. We were glad so many of our parents were able to attend this spiritual event.
The Character Award winner for April is Iona Palmer. Iona is the daughter of Kenneth and Petra Palmer and a fourth grade 
student in Ms. Thompson‘s class. Congratulations, Iona!
