I wanted to remind everyone that this upcoming Friday is the track and field day! We will be heading up to Maples in order to use that huge piece of land. Please make sure you send your children to school in their gym uniforms with lots of water.

With the last day of school fast approaching us, I wanted to let everyone know that Friday, June 13^th, 2014 will be A HALF-DAY! School will be done at 11:30am. We will be hosting a SUMMER FAIR! The summer fair will be filled with lots of exciting games, food, and drink. The fair will begin at 12:00pm and end at 2:00pm. We thought this would be an amazing way to say goodbye. Ticket for children will be $10.00 and tickets for adults will be $5.00. Adults MUST be present with children for those who would like to join. After care will only run that day until 4:00 pm for those who can not attend, or who can not make it by 11:30am.

Please take a look at our summer camp programs offered here at St. Jude’s. It is an amazing program this year with lots of fun activities! I know there are a few students who have not yet registered for next year. I know there are only a couple spots left for both grade 2, and grade 3.  If you have not registered and would like to come back next year, PLEASE do so soon.
