Welcome Back from the March Break!

Students, there will now be a solid charge ahead until June, so make sure to stay up to date with your homework, assignments, and to regularly review your work. Final exams will be here before you realize.

Next week is Holy Week. So remember that Good Friday is next Friday April 2nd, and Monday April 5th is Easter Monday. There will be no classes on those days.

Later that second week in April, will be the OSSLT (Literacy Test) on Thursday April 8. The afterschool classes have already resumed (yesterday).

Of note this week is the iGod 24 Hour Technology and Food Famine on Friday and Saturday. All participating students and staff will be at FMM and will go without food or technology for 24 hours. We also welcome a group of Mexican exchange students to the school this week.

Have a great week!

Week 6 - Semester 2

Only a few more days until the March Break.
Yes, there is a break coming but work still needs to be done.

Upon your return, Mid-Term marks will soon need to be submitted by your teachers, and of course Mid-Term Report Card, and Parent/Teacher interview night.

Tomorrow, we will have our annual McGivney Memorial Mass. It will be a wonderful celebration and a great way to kickstart our Spring Break.

Remember to turn your clocks ahead by 1 hour on Sunday.

Have a great rest of the week and a safe and restful break. Classes resume on Monday March 22.
