2nd Grade Parent Update

Week of March 26 - 30

Dear Parents, I want to address my recent absence and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. 

Your child may have informed you that I have had several recent doctors’ appointments regarding my eyes.

It turns out I am suffering from a fairly severe corneal condition related to contact lens overwear,

 but I am receiving treatment and the prognosis is good. I appreciate your understanding and your prayers!

Operation Rice Bowl

The Lenten season calls us to three missions at this time of year: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Please encourage your children to participate by donating money to Operation Rice Bowl in the small boxes distributed at the beginning of Lent. The boxes will be collected during Holy Week, the first week of April.
