Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope you are enjoying your weekend as we officially enter the last week of school for the 2024/2025 school year!.... We did it!!

Last week our 8^th graders spent their last couple of days with activities, graduation practices, signing of yearbooks, and having a lovely luncheon. Their last day finished with a school wide “Clap Out” as they walked the SLG hallways for one last time. This was a wonderful moment for all as some of these students have been in our school community for 11 years! Their week ended with a beautiful Baccalaureate Mass and then their Graduation ceremony. The reception following the mass was lovely and I thank all the parents that contributed to making the night so special for our students and families. I wish the Class of 2025 all the best as they move on to high school. May they always remember they have a home here at Saint Leo the Great.

Our kindergarten student’s graduation preparations started last week with their “Memory Share Conference”. Parents were invited to sit with their child to listen to them present all the wonderful things they learned this year in kindergarten. It was fun to watch them share their experiences. Tomorrow they will have their ceremony, and I look forward to their special day.

Our PreK students will have their promotion ceremony on Tuesday, June 3^rd in the AAC. They have been practicing hard and are looking forward to sharing all that they have learned this year as they are ready to move onto kindergarten.

This week our 6^th&7^th grade students will complete their finals. The schedule for these is the following:

Monday: Science and Spanish

Tuesday: Religion and any makeups

Starting on Wednesday, June 4^th Field Day begins for our 1^st-4^th grade students. Grades 5^th-7^th will have their Field Day on Thursday, June 5^th. The weather forecast is projected to be gorgeous, but very warm. Please make sure that your children have a hat and are wearing sunscreen to protect them on their designated day.

On the last day of school, there will be an Awards Assembly for students in grades 3^rd-7^th at 11:30AM. We will be live streaming this ceremony, so be sure to be on the lookout for the link we will send on Friday morning. As a reminder this is a half day with dismissal at 12:30PM.

Summer assignments will be posted to the website the week of June 16^th as the school office will be closed from June 9^th through June 13^th. Additionally, our summer hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:00AM to 1:00PM. We are closed on Fridays.

I wish everyone a blessed week as we close out another school year.

Have a wonderful, fun, and relaxing summer and thank you for choosing Saint Leo the Great School! I hope to see you at our parish carnival which runs from June 9^th through June 14th.
