Dear Parents,

Iowa testing will begin March 3^rd and continue through the 19^th. Make-up testing is the 20^th & 21^st. Children need to have plenty of rest and should eat a healthy breakfast. Please review math facts over the weekend.

Lent has begun and the children have been going to the Stations of the Cross weekly. We invite any parent who can join us to check the calendar and come. Grades 3 through 6 will be sharing the Seder Meal on Thursday March 20^th at 10:30 am. This is the meal Jesus shared at the Last Supper. The eighth grade will be going to the Mass of Chrism, celebrated by the Archbishop at St. Joseph Cathedral, on Tuesday of Holy Week. There will be no extra curricular activities held that week.

The school would like to welcome Debbie Mannello, Kristen Vaillancourt, Bob Parziale, and Rhonda Nonamaker as the newest members to our School Board. We wish them a very successful term.

Mrs. Linda Galvin, our development director, is working very hard organizing our May 2^nd Fashion Show. If you have any leads to sponsors, vendors or would like to be part of this, please contact Mrs. Galvin at the school.

No student or parent should be going to the classrooms in the morning unless arrangements have previously been made with the teacher.

On behalf of the SS. Peter and Paul staff, we would like to send our sincere wishes for a very blessed Easter.

Christopher Raymond and Ed Mahony – running errands for Mrs. Curry

Marin Delaney – holding the doors, without being asked.
