Palm Sunday (Passion Sunday)
Holy Monday (Jesus clears the Temple. The only time you will read that Jesus is mad)
Holy Tuesday (Jesus is in Jerusalem and then goes to the Mount of Olives)

Grandparent’s Day and May Crowning – April 26th at 1 p.m. grandparents are invited to share in prayer with their grandchildren at May Crowning. Grandparents can meet their grandchildren from the classrooms or in the gathering space to sit with them. The eighth graders will be doing the May Crowning so their grandparents will have seating in the reserved area in the front pews. Students will be able to go home with their grandparents after the May Crowning ceremony. Please remind grandparents that they must sign the child out before they leave school.
Dad’s Mass on May 1st at 8:15 a.m. – Please return the dad’s form if he is planning on attending. We need to know how many pews to reserve. Students will meet their dad’s after mass and can take them to their classroom.
National Teacher’s Day – May 7th – Student Council is hosting a Dress Down Day on Wednesday, April 24th to raise money for Teacher Appreciation Week.
