BLESSED SACRAMENT SCHOOL MOTHER’S GUILD NEWSLETTER – March 2013
A Note from Our Principal Mrs. Magnusson Dear Parents, I wish to take this opportunity to wish everyone Blessed Easter and a wonderful spring. Our Easter Recess will begin on Holy Thursday and end on April 8th. We have been fortunate that we did not have to use our snow days. Therefore, we will just have to make up two more hurricane days on June 20th and 21st. Hope to see you at the next Mother’s Guild Meeting.
A Message from our President Welcome spring! After a long and sometimes trying winter, spring is just around the corner. Spring has sprung early, however, in the cafeteria! Thanks to Kerry Falcone, Kristine Boussios, Diana and Anthony Antonaros, Kristen Arpaia, Christine Miuccio, Rob Miuccio, Laura DiSpirito, Rich Gainer, Richie Kerney and Marlene Boyd the cafeteria has undergone a wonderful transformation. The new mural is beautiful and the entire cafeteria is bright and cheery. It is also full of important messages and words of inspiration for our children. If you have the opportunity, stop by the cafeteria and take a look at the wonderful work. The fashion show is fast approaching on April 11. Please join us as we watch our children strut their stuff on the catwalk! It is always a very enjoyable evening! Next month, the Mother’s Guild meeting will be preceded by the class mother’s meeting on April 22. Please plan on attending if you are currently a class mother. I would like to wish everyone a happy and blessed Easter. Enjoy your spring break!
