The month of May is traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Mother. There are many special ways to honor Mary. May altars and May crowning are very popular ways to celebrate. Look for the special May altar in the hall. Flowers are always welcomed for the vases in front of the Blessed Mother.
It is an exciting month as we watch the Earth slowly burst forth in color. Many special things are happening this month. Let’s start with an update of the Race for Education. This year has been a huge success for our school. The leader board has been posted with Sister Irene currently in first place. Let’s see if anyone can pass her!
The following companies have helped as sponsors for the Race For Education:
Finished Touch Construction, Inc.
Baltimore Towing Company, Inc.
Kaczorowski Funeral Home
Stone Services
We also had many parents who donated a book of stamps to help with the mailing costs and many parents who helped stamp the cards of the students. Your help made our race so successful!
