Dear Friends,

We have begun our Lenten journey, in preparation for Holy Week, the Triduum, and the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection at Easter. Classes are focusing on Lent and the importance of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Students in grades 3-8 will participate in Lenten Penance and Reconciliation services in preparation for Easter.

Students are actively engaged in learning in all subjects and grade levels, from Pre-K hands-on, fun, messy learning to Jr. High learning, including participation in the National Catholic Academic Jr. High Decathlon Finals. Eighth grade students are preparing and practicing for the Living Stations of the Cross that will be presented for the school community during Holy Week.

Second grade students will soon present Famous Person speeches and will then prepare for the Bible Reenactment play. Other grade levels are preparing for the upcoming Talent Show, as well as spring concerts. It is a busy time for the St. Margaret Mary Catholic School community!

We pray that this Lent season will help each of us draw nearer to Jesus as we remember His paschal mystery. May God continue to bless our school and parish community during this season of Lent.

In Christ’s peace,
Mrs. Katie Walsh
