 Dear Parents,

 

This month will fly by because of the Easter Break from Thursday, March 20th (at 11:30) to and including Sunday, March 30th.   We, in class, will try to stay focused and keep working. 

 

The week proceeding Easter we will be attending Church on Wed. and Thurs. In order to enable the students to fully understand what occurs during Holy Week, we discuss and reenact the ceremonies.  However, because we are not in school on Good Friday, we move the days us and rearrange the days.  Holy Thursday Mass occurs on Wednesday; Good Friday Ceremony occurs on Thursday. 

 

It sounds and looks confusing but the students seem to understand perfectly and that’s what is important.                           

May your holy season be blessed and may your Easter be joyful.
