We are now into the full swing of the school year with many activities taking place. Our girls and boys volleyball teams are doing well and I am very thankful to all the parents who have stepped up to help coach and/or drive their children to games and tournaments!
A friendly reminder that two big events are upcoming for our school and parish community: the Trunk or Treat day on October 29 (see below for details) and the St. Matthew’s Bazaar and Expo on November 6! Please consider taking time to support these events with your families.
Also, please be sure to read the info below about signing up for PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE which will be held on Friday, November 4, 2022.
