News for the Week of May 1, 2013



Spring "Night of the Arts" Celebrating Marilyn Szilva!  Our Night of the Arts featuring student art work and our vocal music concert will take place on Tuesday, May 7th.  The evening's festivities will be dedicated to our 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Marilyn Szilva, in celebration of her retirement.  Students should plan to arrive at their classrooms no earlier than 6:40pm.  The vocal concert will begin promptly at 7pm in the Parish Center.  Prior to the concert, guests are invited to tour the halls to view class art work on the bulletin boards.

Students should wear "Sunday Best" for the evening.  "Sunday Best" for boys means dress pants and collared shirt with no logo. For girls "Sunday Best" means a  dress or skirt of modest length - 3 inches above knee, shoulders should be covered.  Both boys and girls should wear dress shoes -  no sneakers or flip-flops.  If "Sunday Best" is not available, the relaxed or formal uniform may be worn.  Please remember that student attendance at the Spring Vocal Concert is considered mandatory.  Performance is an important assessment tool in the Music curriculum.






Our next School Mass will be on Friday, May 3rd at 9am in the church.  Everyone is welcome to join us.  We will also attend the 12:15 Parish Mass on Ascension Thursday on May 9th.  Please remember that the relaxed uniform may be worn to Mass but no physical education uniforms should be worn.








Grandparents & Special Person's Day & May Crowning will take place on Friday, 5/10/13.  Guests are welcome to join us for community prayer in the parish center at 8:45am.  After prayer, coffee and light refreshments will be available along with student entertainment.  There will be time for classroom visits before the community transitions to the church at 10:20 for May Crowning at 10:30am.  At the conclusion of May Crowning, we will bid farewell to our guests and resume our normal academic day.







Fairway to Heaven - Golf Outing at Avon Country Club on Monday, May 13th.  Join us for a day of golf or just for a lovely dinner and exciting live & silent auction.  For more information and a registration form, click here.







Spring Band Concert will be held on Thursday, May 16th at 6:30pm (NOTE:  THIS IS A TIME CHANGE FROM THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL CALENDAR.) in the Parish Center.  The concert will feature performances by our Cadet and Advanced Bands, the SMS Jazz Band & Third Grade Recorder students.  Everyone is welcome to attend this concert.  This is a great opportunity for those not familiar with our instrumental music program to see the fabulous results of the FMI music program.
