This weather has been a welcome sight! I told the students today that they may begin wearing uniform shorts now. I have also had questions regarding skirts, and girls may wear skirts without tights or leggings, but PLEASE reinforce that skirts should ft correctly, and not be rolled up. According to the handbook, skirts should not be more than 4 inches above the knee. PLEASE help me enforce this, as it is not a conversation that any student (or I) would like to have. Thank you!
Tomorrow there will be no afternoon Ripley bus service. There will also be no Ripley bus service at all March 21 and 24th Please make the appropriate arrangements.
All are welcome to join us for the Stations of the Cross each Friday of Lent except April 4, as we reflect on the Passion of our Savior Jesus Christ! This week the 5th and 6th grade will lead us.
Tomorrow is fish fry #2, thanks to all those who signed up to volunteer. If you still haven't, a good time to come help would be between 6 and 7 tomorrow for cleanup. Also, please sign up for each Friday through April 11!
If you have any $10K tickets that you are not going to sell, please send them in to the school. We are headed toward a record year. Thanks to all those who made this fundraiser so successful!
If you have not yet turned in your registration and EdChoice paperwork for next year, this is a gentle reminder to get that in as soon as possible.
Good luck to all of our 5th-8th grade students who are participating in the Regional Science Fair at the University of Cincinnati on Saturday! Thanks to Mrs. Hamilton for helping our students get the extensive amount of paperwork turned in for the event.
