Wednesday of the Easter Octave
Congratulations!
Dear Parents,
Congratulations – we met our $50,000 goal for the Walk the Little Way fundraiser! Thank you for your donations and help spreading the word. Here’s what happens next:
- The Walk is THIS FRIDAY. Students may wear jeans and their Jayhawk t-shirts to school. All parents are welcome to join us on the Rosary walk to pray for our donors; meet in front of school at 9:15, and you may walk with your child’s class.
- Be on the lookout for a list coming home of donors who gave in your family’s honor. While the school is sending a generic thank you to all donors, we strongly encourage families to send personal thank you notes as well. It is much more meaningful!
Thank you and God bless,
Walk the Little Way Committee

School Fundraiser TODAY at Gloria Deo
Solar Eclipse
A partial eclipse is scheduled by the Lord for Monday, April 8. We are in the 80% zone (100% is the zone of totality). We have viewing glasses in hand for our all our school children and for about 60 of you to join us if you like. The maximum eclipse is to occur at 1:52pm. If you’d like to join us, you are welcome to do so. So that we save glasses for you and your accomplices (other children or adults), please RSVP. If you want to come and do not RSVP, we cannot guarantee that we will have glasses for you. Glasses will be available out front at 1:30 and in the office from 1 on if you want to come earlier. That is also the Solemnity of the Annunciation, so we are looking for a delightful day out front for the natural phenomenon. What regularity God places in the movement of the planets! The next eclipse of substance is 2044 according to the CBS news source online, so come on over and view with us!
Children will be directed to play at recess as normal, and will be well informed NEVER to look at the sun directly without the proper viewing glasses.
