Dear Parents/Guardians:

As you know the annual May Procession is a long standing Catholic tradition to honor Mary. All studentsare expected to take part in this night with their classmates and welcomed parish students. Students are to meet in their classrooms at 6:45 PM on Monday, May 7th. Students in K, 1, 3,4,5, and 7 should be in the school uniform. They may wear the golf shirt, tucked, with their kilt or school pants and belt. We ask that all uniforms be cleaned and neatly worn showing our understanding of reverence. Students in grade 2 will wear communion attire and sixth grade will wear their Confirmation outfit with their Confirmation robe. Any student in these classes who has not made the sacrament will wear their school uniform. Eighth grade will wear their graduation outfit with their graduation robe. All students will pray the rosary while processing from school to church. Parents are welcome to follow the students into church praying. Students should be picked up by an adult outside of church at the dismissal of this prayer service. We hope all join us for this night of prayer. Teachers will have the students lined up outside of church for you to collect your child, approximately 7:40 PM.

Teachers have asked for you to view your child’s progress this week. This is a reminder to log onto MSP so that you are aware of your child’s progress. Although the portal for Progress is not available you are able to see their report card grade at this time. That is your child’s average as of right now. Please let your child’s teacher know if you have any concerns or a need for a conference.

Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Karen Buechele. Karen, our school secretary, has announced her retirement. She has decided to take time to spend with family and her grandchildren. We thank Karen for her many years of service to St. Dorothy parish and school! She will be greatly missed!

Spirit Day is approaching and volunteers will be needed. Spirit Day is Friday, June 1. Students will play team games at Dermond field. The children will be broken into green and white teams allowing for great sportsmanship. This day is only possible with the help of parent volunteers. Please reserve the day to enjoy while helping with your child’s events. More information will be coming soon.

Our annual Manna bag collection is going on in church. Please read the enclosed notice if you want to take part in helping those less fortunate.

Live Giving Witness to Christ,

Karen Tomasetti
