THE WEEKLY RUNDOWN
May 10, 2018

Teacher Appreciation 
Our teachers have been thanked in countless ways this week during the National Teacher Appreciation Week. Our students and parents have shown their gratefulness to our teachers in a variety of ways with homemade cards, candy, food, flowers, gifts, plants and the best way of all: by simply saying thank you for all you do. Teachers never tire of hearing those words. They do the work because they know the lifelong value of Catholic education and they truly enjoy working with your children. So thank you for thanking them.
