If you are in need of Kid’s Camp
during Spring Break, please let the
School Office know. Payments must

Lunch Menu Changes for Lent
Each Friday during Lent is traditionally a day of
abstinence, so our lunches will be meatless. We
encourage you to follow suit if you pack your
child’s lunch on Fridays. It helps is all be more
mindful of the sacrifice of our Lord.
