Holy Family School Weekly Newsletter 5/1/09

Dear Parents,

Our May Crowning of Mary was a wonderful event today. Having the students actively involved made the event more personal to our students. While we’re on the topic of upcoming events, my oldest grand-daughter will be receiving her First Communion this weekend, so my weekly letter will be short due to the fact that my wife and daughter have asked me to complete some projects at home prior to this event.

Please continue to refer to the “Upcoming Events” list in last week’s letter.

Next week, our 4th and 8th graders will be taking the written portion of the State Science Assessment Exam on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.

Our monthly Mass will be Thursday, May 7th at 9 am in church, followed by our National Day of Prayer activities.

Soon you will receive information about the student dress code for the annual Spring Concert held on Thursday, May 14th.

Father Joe O’Connor of the Syracuse Diocese will be speaking with all our students on the morning of Monday, May 4th. Please feel free to come in and meet Father O’Connor and welcome him to Holy Family School.

All students and parents should have received the 30 week report card. We encourage all parents to take a few minutes and look over their child’s report card. If you think an error has occurred or need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me or Ann French. Our students once again performed admirably. In grades 5-8, 46 % of our students achieved High Honor status (overall average 95 % or higher) and 38 % achieved Honor status (overall average of 89 % to 94.99 %). This represents 83 % of our middle school population. Congratulations!

Finally, I encourage everyone to take time with your families to enjoy the beautiful upstate scenery and weather!
