The Smet family has been one of the biggest donors and blessings to our school over the past 4 years. Please come by the school at 10am tomorrow if you are available to help us thank them in person! Student of the Month will be on Friday. We will be celebrating students who demonstrate the character pillar of Integrity this month. It will also be the end of the second trimester. Report cards will be distributed next Friday, 3/4. We are sad to announce that we will not be hosting a school carnival this year- the carnival company is doing business outside of California at this time. We have already booked the carnival for next year in February though! We will be taking the required 6 carnival hours off of the service hour requirements this year.  Happy birthday to Ms. Ascencio, our preschool aide (Tuesday 2/22). We pray that God bless her and her work with our youngest students. REMINDERS:: -Dance Class: Free every Monday & Thursday from 3-4pm.
