Electronic Equipment NOT Permitted in School
Cell phones, I-pods, and electronic games, etc. are not permitted in school. If seen or heard, they will be taken away and returned at the end of the day.

Kindergarten and Grades 1 & 2 Basketball Clinic Saturdays, at 8:30am.
Students in grades K and Grades 1 & 2 are encouraged to attend this program. It is fun and the students are kept active. It is held every Saturday (There will be a clinic on Saturday, November 28th).

Hannaford Gift Certificates
They are available after each Mass the first weekend of the month. They are also available in the school office. The Parish gets 5% of the value of the gift certificates and you get FULL VALUE, so it is a win-win arrangement for everyone. The Parish supports our school in many ways. Here is our opportunity to support the Parish.
