There's really only one word to describe our Drama Club's opening night of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", and that is, well... AMAZING! We're so proud of all of our students, and can't wait to see them do it all again tomorrow! #gogogojoseph

MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD!!!

Catholic Schools in NYS are required to submit proof of completing certain mandates on a yearly basis. We receive money from the state for these mandates, but over the last two years money has been eliminated from our section of the state budget and our payments were reduced by 5% each year with the promise of receiving it later that year. This is not happening. Please take a moment to let the Governor know that this is not acceptable by clicking on the link below and submitting your message:

✏️ https://tinyurl.com/3afwwfub

• Make sure you enter your home address, so the emails go to your own legislators.
• FYI - In order to send these emails, you will need to answer a follow up question from Gov. Hochul – just choose “Education”.
• Once you send your emails, please forward this request to your friends, neighbors, and anyone else you know who supports Catholic education, and encourage them to participate.
• Additionally, if you have not already participated in the action alert asking Gov. Hochul to “opt in” to the Federal Education Tax Credits, please also click the link below to send an email to Gov. Hochul asking for her support: https://tinyurl.com/45hhzc2h

🎂 Montessori Pre-K - Grade 2 celebrated Dr. Seuss's Birthday this week! They read some of the American author and cartoonist's books, dressed up in black, white & red, watched the original “Cat in the Hat”, and even tried some "green eggs" & ham!

We celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday because of his massive impact on children's literacy. The day coincides with Read Across America Day, a national initiative to encourage reading and celebrate the joy of books, sparking imagination and reading habits in kids through fun, engaging stories and creative activities.
